Minister of Foreign Affairs: Gocha Javakhishvili insulted both the state and the agency in which he served for many years

The diplomatic service of Georgia has always stood and stands at the height of the call and is fully aware of its responsibility to the country, and Gocha Javakhishvili, unfortunately, missed the chance to participate in this case by his own decision, - in a corresponding statement, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ilia Darchiashvili, announced the resignation of the Georgian ambassador to France, Gocha Javakhishvili, and Responds to the statement made by him.

As Darchiashvili points out, Gocha Javakhishvili insulted both the state and the agency in which he served for many years.

"I would like to respond to Gocha Javakhishvili's statement, which he made a few hours after I suspended his official authority.

With this statement, Gocha Javakhishvili, intentionally or unintentionally, insulted both the state and the agency in which he served for many years, as well as every worthy diplomat who faithfully serves the interests of the Georgian state.

During the last years, Gocha Javakhishvili represented our country in one of the leading European states from the highest position - as an ambassador - and he should be able to best understand what efforts we made during this period to secure the European future of Georgia.

The diplomatic service of Georgia has always stood and stands at the height of the call and is fully aware of its responsibility towards the country. The employees of our agency have made an immeasurable contribution to the irreversibility of Georgia's European future and will surely bring the process of integration into the European Union to the end. This country will definitely become a worthy and full-fledged member of the European family.

Gocha Javakhishvili, unfortunately, missed the chance to participate in this case by his own decision," Darchiashvili says.

For information, Georgian Ambassador to France Gocha Javakhishvili resigned yesterday. The diplomat wrote on the social network that "I no longer see my own role and resources in this direction: - to go to Europe and protect myself from Europe".
