Ambassador Degnan: No one in US Embassy involved in lobbying on behalf of Saakashvili

US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan, on Friday, stated that “No one in the US Embassy in Tbilisi has been involved in lobbying on behalf of [ex-president of Georgia] President Saakashvili.”

The ambassador explained that the embassy was mentioned in documents “because the lobbyists called one of our employees.”

“Answering your phone in no way means agreeing to do anything or it means nothing more than answering the phone and we have been very, very clear, crystal clear – no one at the US Embassy in Tbilisi has been involved in lobbying on behalf of President Saakashvili, period, simple as that,” she stressed.
