Тhe President of Georgia MikheilSaakashvili expressed his condolences to OtarChiladze's family I am profoundly sorry to learn of the death of a great Georgian writer, a many-sided creator and the classic o the Georgian literature OtarChiladze. The overwhelming love and respect towards him is a logical recognition of the life that he passed with such dignity, of his multicolored and extremely interesting creative work. OtarChiladze was an innovator, who created new artistic and aesthetic values in our literature. He expressed the painful history of the Georgian soul, with characteristic for him refinement and wisdom and devoted words full of hope to his country. His creative work now and forever belongs to the Georgian nation, the Georgian literature, our present and our future. I share the pain and sorrow caused by OtarChiladze's death with the whole Georgia. Mikheil Saakashvili.
