When there are questions, I can even advise the representative of our friendly country that it is better to give specific answers

Georgian Dream leader Mamuka Mdinaradze does not consider the recent attacks on the U.S. ambassador by MPs and current party members, who have formally left the party, insulting and detrimental to relations with a strategic partner.

Mdinaradze told this to journalists. According to him, asking questions of the ambassador is not an attack, and when there are questions, "it is better to give specific and very clear answers."

"If questions were asked, it is an attack, but if there was a statement, criticism and accusation against Georgian Dream, it does not mean anything? And if the government of Georgia supported someone in questions and said that a specific person should answer the questions, is this perceived as an attack? We are talking about the government of your own country, does this sound like an attack to you?"

If it were proven that someone, whether it was an ambassador, whether it was you or me, interfered with justice in a way that blocked a person from this or that training, is that interference or not? Wouldn't you say, if it were...? If we are arguing with them, it fits within the framework of friendship between the two countries and within the framework of defending the truth. To no matter what, not question them since they are our friend, strategic partner and the U.S., it's a psychology that no sovereign country will ever use.

When there are questions, I can even advise the representative of our friendly country in this country that it is better to give specific and very clear answers," said Mdinaradze.
