"What is happening in Georgia? In a country that has always been friendly to the USA and was moving towards the West... now this position is changing", said the former US ambassador to Georgia, Ian Kelly, in an interview with the "Mtavari Channel".
I think this is a very difficult time for me personally and for all friends of Georgia. Of course, there are many friends of Georgia in the government of the United States. This is an unprecedented attack. This is very disturbing to me.
First of all, Kelly Degnan is a very good diplomat and she represents the US position, and the fact that the US government has distanced her from the attacks that have been made against the ambassador again suggests that the position is very strange.
What is happening in Georgia, a country that has always been friendly to the United States? With such personal attacks and very bad rhetoric towards the US...Kelly Degnan herself has always been careful and very attentive to express his position and of course he expressed the position of the United States.
That's why questions are being asked about what is happening in Georgia, which has always gravitated towards the West, but everything points to the fact that the position is changing, - says Ian Kelly.
According to him, "there is now a chance for Georgia to return to the right path from which it deviated recently. The European Commission gave Georgia this chance to return to this path and receive the candidate status".
