“Irakli Kobakhidze is constantly lecturing the ambassadors of all our friendly and partner countries and wagging his finger at them, which further confirms that he is a pro-Russian politician serving Russian national interests,” stated Grigol Gegelia, a member of Lelo – Strong Georgia, commenting on the Prime Minister’s statement regarding the expediency of “summoning” the EU Ambassador.
“Today, if anyone is threatening Georgia with conflict and impoverishment, it is primarily Kobakhidze and his administration, who have done everything to pit Georgians against one another and sow enmity. They have impoverished our people and done nothing to realize the country’s potential and its European aspirations.
Therefore, I would advise him to look in the mirror and, instead of summoning the Ambassador of the European Union and other European countries, have the courage to summon the Ambassador of Iran, who spoke to us in a very dangerous language of threats, or summon the Ambassador of Hungary and ask how it happened that a Russian spy worked in the Hungarian diplomatic service and was stationed here for four years—and it is unknown whether he also conducted intelligence activities in the interests of Russia.
We see that Kobakhidze never summons those ambassadors who truly should be asked specific questions in the interests of the Georgian people. Instead, he constantly lectures and points fingers at all the ambassadors of our friends and partners, which once again confirms: Irakli Kobakhidze serves Russian, not Georgian, national interests,” Gegelia stated.
“When the EU Ambassador threatens the Georgian people with civil war and impoverishment, it is simply unthinkable,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists, commenting on the remarks of EU Ambassador Paweł Herczyński, who had previously expressed hope that the people of Georgia would not return to times of “civil war and poverty.”
