"Anyone who tries to discredit Kelly Degnan is probably doing it for some other political purpose"| Carpenter

"Whoever is trying to discredit Kelly Degnan is probably doing it for some other political purpose," U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE Michael Carpenter said to the Mtavari Channel and responded to the attacks on the U.S. ambassador.

"Kelly Degnan is one of our best ambassadors, she has a brilliant diplomatic career, and she's doing a great job in Georgia. Everyone who has worked with her notes her dedication, knowledge of the region, and diplomatic skills. So anyone who is trying to discredit him is probably doing so for some other political purpose. Kelly Degnan represents the U.S. She does an excellent job and has been quite successful in dealing with the propaganda that the U.S. is trying to drag Georgia into this war, which is a complete lie, and the ambassador himself has stated it directly more than once," Carpenter says.
