If you are wondering whether we have the same relationship with the Iranian ambassador and whether we communicate when we have certain concerns, I will tell you that yes, - this is how Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili answered a journalists' question regarding the statements made on social media by the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the attitude of the Georgian Foreign Ministry to him.

As Botchorishvili noted, "dialogue is with all ambassadors with whom the need arises."

"If you are wondering whether we have the same relationship with the Iranian ambassador and whether we communicate when we have certain concerns, I will tell you that yes. The Ministry has its own resources for conducting diplomatic activities and always does what is necessary. As necessary, we have dialogue with all ambassadors with whom the need arises," - Botchorishvili stated.

For information, the Iranian ambassador issued a statement on March 31, according to which “when some countries, unwillingly or hastily, give their space and territory to external provocateurs, sooner or later they will pay the price within the country itself.” According to him, “those who supported Donald Trump yesterday are forced to pay the price for this step today.” Due to the aforementioned statement, the Georgian Foreign Ministry was called upon to summon the Iranian diplomat to the ministry. The Iranian ambassador was actually at the ministry, although he said that he requested the meeting himself.
