Harzell did not fully look at Georgia as a sovereign state

Someone said it's better to criticize politicians than diplomats. That's what we had the answer to. Precisely because this man, Carl Hartzell, was not speaking as an ambassador, but as a politician, that is why there was a need to assess his activities the way we did.

Once again, regarding the existing relations between the European Union and Georgia, unfortunately, he played a very negative role in these relations. It is very heartbreaking for us.

There are many examples, I just do not want to go into details, but I can recall periods. These were the periods associated with the weeks after the March 8 agreement when he took a position on a subject that was offensive to the state. This one. Secondly, when the April 19 agreement was being negotiated, during the negotiations there, he had a position offensive to the state on some topics. Even after that, there were isolated episodes where we saw this attitude. We saw his attitude when he did not fully see Georgia as a sovereign state.

This was stated by the Chairman of Georgian Dream coalition Irakli Kobakhidze on air of Imedi TV.
