Irakli Kobakhidze: Peter Fischer was the only ambassador who did everything to damage relations between Georgia and Germany - I hope all this will change

Peter Fischer was the only ambassador who not only did nothing to develop relations, but on the contrary, did everything possible to damage relations between Georgia and the Federal Republic of Germany. We hope that all this will change, - stated Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze to journalists, commenting on the end of the term of German Ambassador to Georgia, Peter Fischer.

As Kobakhidze noted, Georgia is grateful to Germany for its “very significant support” over the years.

“Traditionally, there have been special relations between Georgia and Germany. Germany played a major role, especially in the early 1990s, in the development of our country. It was a very difficult period at that time, and Germany stood by our country. This is how relations continued for many years. Peter Fischer was the only ambassador who not only did nothing for the development of these relations, but on the contrary, did everything to damage relations between Georgia and the Federal Republic of Germany. We hope that all this will turn around. This is very important for our country. We are grateful to Germany for its very significant support over the years. We have a very strong desire to restore the friendly relations we were accustomed to before. Unfortunately, Mr. Fischer caused great damage to these relations. We hope that all this will change,” Kobakhidze stated.
