President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said that he will comply with any court decision to deprive the leader of the New Forces Movement political party, ex-head of Odesa Regional State Administration Mikheil Saakashvili of Ukraine's citizenship, but the latter has not appealed to judicial authorities for over a month and a half.

"In any legal state, a person has the right to appeal any administrative act at the administrative court, in this case at the High Administrative Court. And I, as the president, will execute any court decision. If you do not like the decision of the Ukrainian court, there is the European Court of Human Rights [...] More than one month and a half has passed. Nobody has applied to the court," he said during a meeting on the development of rural medicine in Kyiv on Monday.
