Perhaps someone is seriously interested in escalating, casting a shadow on the relationship between Georgia and the US – [Kelly] Degnan should not point her hand at the Government of Georgia, but at their Department of Justice. Such a statement made today the First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament.

“There can be 3 versions. The first, which is categorically denied by the Embassy, and it a correct political attitude, is that it has not happened.

The second is that this person [the Embassy employee] was mentioned with fraudulent purposes, that is, lobbyists made money, as they mentioned a person who has nothing to do with the attempt to destabilize the country.

The third, more serious version, conspiratorial one, that someone is interested in spoiling the relations between Georgia and the US with this rather scandalous topic.

Otherwise, complaints against the Georgian authorities cannot be accepted, because we have not published this. As for who is interested in spoiling the relationship, there can be many such - it can be the United National Movement, it can be Russia.

Of course, [Kelly] Degnan should make a statement and point not at the Government of Georgia, but at their Department of Justice, she should ask why this name was included in this document, and she should describe either one, the second or third version”, - said Gia Volski.
