Tbilisi: The chairman of the Georgian Dream party, Irakli Kobakhidze, calls the statement from the US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan, to be very rude and insulting. The Ambassador said that four deputies who left GeorgiaÂn Dream are spreading lies and Russian disinformation. The chairman has responded to the statement, saying the government will neither share these insulting statements nor evaluate them loyally.
“Once again, I will explain our position; as for the details themselves, many statements and letters were circulated, and there were many details in these statements. Of course, we refrained and still refrain from clarifying these details and stating our position. It’s very simple here. We cannot enter into this, if we enter, it turns out that we have to take responsibility for something and become co-authors of the statements that were published; we cannot do that. We cannot go into these details, we cannot comment on any details; this is a general position”, stated Kobakhidze.
The Ambassador made a really rude and insulting statement. According to her, four of our honourable colleagues have been spreading lies and disinformation about Russia. As earlier, I would say, if we thought these people were spreaders of lies, distancing would be different. I repeat this one more time. Of course, we cannot share these insulting statements, nor can we evaluate them loyally in any way,” he further added.
According to him, Sozar Subari, Dimitri Khundadze, Mikheil Kavelashvili and Guram Macharashvili fought for the country in their time and are still acting with this belief.
“When they insult 4 of our colleagues, members of the Parliament that had been elected by the people, not only the election by the people is important here; besides, these people have their own honourable past. Sozar Subari with his past, his present, as well as Dimitri Khundadze, Mikheil Kavelashvili, Guram Macharashvili, these people, fought for the country in their time and are still acting with this belief,” said Kobakhidze.
