Gocha Javakhishvili insulted both the state and the agency in which he served for many years, writes the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Ilia Darchiashvili, while commenting the resignation of the Georgian Ambassador to France, Gocha Javakhishvili.

“I would like to respond to Gocha Javakhishvili’s statement, which he made a few hours after I suspended his official authority.

With this statement, he, intentionally or unintentionally, insulted both the state and the agency in which he served for many years, as well as every worthy diplomat who faithfully serves the interests of the Georgian state.

During the last years, Javakhishvili represented our country in one of the leading European states from the highest position - as an Ambassador - and he should be able to best understand what efforts we made during this period to secure the European future of Georgia.

The diplomatic service of Georgia has always stood and stands at the height of the call and is fully aware of its responsibility towards the country. The employees of our agency have made an immeasurable contribution to the irreversibility of Georgia’s European future and will surely bring the process of integration into the EU to the end. This country will definitely become a worthy and full-fledged member of the European family.

Gocha Javakhishvili, unfortunately, missed the chance to participate in this case by his own decision”, - writes Ilia Darchiashvili.

Gocha Javakhishvili resigned yesterday, May 9.
