Irakli Kobakhidze: Speaking on behalf of the Georgian people is not the job of any ambassador - when you assess the rallies of 150 "Nationals" and call it the protest of the Georgian people, it's incomprehensible, right?!

Speaking on behalf of the Georgian people is not the job of any ambassador - when you assess the rallies of 150 "Nationals" and call it the protest of the Georgian people, it's incomprehensible, right?! Salome Zurabishvili said the same, one of the ambassadors said the same. The society will evaluate all this, it's just wrong, chairman of Georgian Dream Irakli Kobakhidze said, responding to the statement of US Ambassador Kelly Degnan regarding the rally held in Batumi port.

According to Irakli Kobakhidze, the Ambassador's statement was incomprehensible.

“Nobody thinks like what Kelly Degnan said. This is not how the representatives of the society in Georgia think, that no Russian should come to Georgia. The vast majority of the public is of a different opinion, and when you say such phrases, which are related to the loss of a billion dollars by the country, I do not know what assessment to make here.

Speaking on behalf of the Georgian people is not the job of any ambassador - when you assess the rallies of 150 "Nationals" and call it the protest of the Georgian people, it's incomprehensible, right?! Salome Zurabishvili said the same, one of the ambassadors said the same. The society will evaluate all this, it's just wrong.

Let us remind you that no one asked to punish the organizers of the violence. After all, the violence was throwing eggs, etc. March 7-8 was violent, yesterday's rally was also violent. Violence has different forms, on March 7-8 there was brutal violence, yesterday it was relatively mild, but violence is violence. 3,000 people gathered on Lisi, maybe even more, and they were not representatives of any active party, and no one called it a people's protest, but when 150 collective "Nationals" gather somewhere and you call it a protest of the Georgian people - here you can see what the real issue is," Kobakhidze said.

For information, the US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan, said in connection with the rally held in Batumi port that "the Georgian people have made it clear that nobody should expect Georgians to welcome people from the country that occupies 20 percent of Georgia's territory."
