Irakli Kobakhidze: Mr. Herczyński is a tragic figure, even more tragic than Mr. Hartzell was – they made Hartzell do everything against the Georgian people and in the end did not even grant him a decent post

“Mr. Herczyński is a tragic figure, even more tragic than his predecessor Mr. Hartzell was,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

According to him, they made Hartzell do everything against the Georgian people and in the end did not even grant him a decent post.

“Mr. Herczyński is a tragic figure, I can tell you that once again. Even more tragic than his predecessor Mr. Hartzell was. You know how Mr. Hartzell ended his diplomatic career. They made him do everything against the Georgian people and in the end did not even grant him a decent post. The same is happening in this case as well – they are making Mr. Herczyński do everything against the Georgian people, and that is why this person is truly tragic. No other comment can be made about him. This person directly and grossly interfered in our democratic elections, directly made appeals against the authorities during the election campaign and in favour of the radical opposition, in favour of unconstitutional parties, and directly encouraged violence in our country. It is impossible to make any in-depth comment about such a person.

Yesterday the EU Ambassador attacked the Georgian people and I am responding to that. When he attacks the government elected by the Georgian people, this is an attack on the Georgian people. They have chosen such a path, and we are responding. Every time we are in response mode; we never start with our critical statements. They say something, and they say it in a completely shameful and unfounded manner, and we have to respond to all of that,” Irakli Kobakhidze stated.
