TBILISI. – Former MP was detained while attempting to cross Armenian-Georgian border-line, Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs informs.

According to the report, Valery Gelbakhiani was detained on Monday. He has been on wanted list since February 2008 after he was charged with coup attempt.

Valery Gelbakhiani was the head of headquarters of presidential candidate Badri Patarkatsishvili.

Gelbakhiani fled the state after criminal proceedings were instigated against him in 2008, Novosti-Gruziya reports. He circulated a letter earlier this year asking security guarantees to visit his sick mother.
