“I would continue to encourage all sides to refrain from closing any doors prematurely in this process, especially doors that, once closed, will remain shut forever,” EU Ambassador said. Carl Hartzell commented to InterPressNews agency on the opposition mandate termination issue planned at the Parliament for February 2.

EU Ambassador is convinced that the parliament that represents the Georgian voters would serve Georgia’s interests the best.

“While the political dialogue looks unlikely to produce a broad-based agreement in the short-term, I would continue to encourage all sides to refrain from closing any doors prematurely in this process. Especially doors that, once closed, will remain shut forever. In the end, I’m convinced that the interests of Georgia are best served by a parliament that represents the Georgian voters. All political parties should continue working to bridge their differences with that objective in mind,” Carl Hartzell declared.

The Parliament of Georgia will discuss and vote on the authority termination for 51 opposition MPs at the February 2 plenary session.
