EU Ambassador to Georgia Carl Hartzell amet MP Tea Tsulukiani in the Parliament.

“Mr. Hartzell arrived at the Parliament under my invitation regarding his yesterday’s statement. This meeting was important, and fruitful because it clarified that his statement regarding me and my political statement is his personal opinion and not the position of the EU”, - said Tea Tsulukiani.

“Tea Tsulukiani was not pleased with my yesterday’s comments, and we had a chance to discuss this to make sure that both sides understand each other’s positions”, - added Carl Hartzell.

He praised the meeting, refused to speak about the details, and added that he stands by his yesterday’s statement.

“I stand by my statement. For me, an issue like this is about a much broader issue about the tonality in political life. That’s something that I care about a lot how it has been portrayed in media. My point is about the tonality of the political discourse, which is so important”, - explained the Ambassador.

The meeting was partly related to Carl Hartzell’s statement yesterday regarding the public disclosure of a phone number of Mtavari Arkhi director Nika Gvaramia’s phone number by Tea Tsulukiani.
