Irakli Kobakhidze: Robin Dunnigan is not a resigned, but a dismissed ambassador - when a dismissed ambassador talks about rumors, it is not serious

Robin Dunnigan is not a resigned, but a dismissed ambassador. When a dismissed ambassador talks about rumors, it is not serious - specific ambassadors - Degnan and Dunnigan - have made a serious contribution to the qualitative deterioration of Georgian-American relations, therefore, they have no moral right to talk about anything when it comes to Georgian-American relations, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated in response to a question concerning the statement of the US Ambassador to Georgia, where she noted that the non-public letter of the leadership of the Georgian Dream to President Donald Trump was "threatening, insulting, not serious and was received extremely badly in Washington".

As the Prime Minister noted, "commenting on the gossip of the dismissed ambassador is inappropriate".

“We have commented on this issue. If we had the opportunity to send an open letter, we would have sent an open letter. Robin Dunnigan is not a resigned, but a dismissed ambassador. When a dismissed ambassador speaks about rumors, it is not serious. If it were a public letter, we would have made it public. As for the rumors of the dismissed ambassador, commenting on this is inappropriate. You saw that on the same day, as a demonstration, they made Ms. Dunnigan sign a statement. On the same day, they gave us their consent to appoint the ambassador of Georgia, which was a demonstrative act. They dismissed a person who is busy spreading rumors. This is not serious.

We want the strategic partnership with the United States to be restored from a clean slate. This was the declared content of all our letters and communications. The content of all communications was this: we want the strategic partnership to be restored from a clean slate.

The previous administration ruined a lot of things, including specific ambassadors: Degnan, Dunnigan, in fact they made a serious contribution to the qualitative deterioration of Georgian-American relations, therefore, they have no moral right to talk about anything when it comes to Georgian-American relations,” the Prime Minister noted.
