No one from the US Embassy was involved in lobbying in favor of Mikheil Saakashvili. Such a statement made today the US Ambassador to Georgia in response to a question regarding FARA documents.

“The Embassy was mentioned in the documents because one of its employees answered the phone call.

Answering a phone call on one’s own phone does not in any way mean giving consent to anything, but simply answering an incoming call on one"s own phone. We very clearly stated that no one from the US Embassy was involved in lobbying in favor of President Mikheil Saakashvili”, - said Kelly Degnan.
