PM: We would better give Peter Fischer a break; he’s retiring anyway, his statements aren’t interesting

“We would better give Peter Fischer a break; he’s retiring anyway, his statements aren’t interesting,” said Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, responding to a question on the statement by the German Ambassador to Georgia.

According to the PM, the German Ambassador’s statements are not interesting.

“It was another slip-up, but slip-ups don’t usually happen like that. In fact, it seems like he said what was on his mind,” he said.

German Ambassador to Georgia Peter Fischer said in an interview with Radio Free Europe: “Some Georgians know what joining the European Union means; others say, I have no better alternative, I don’t want to be Russian or Turkish, Iranian or Azerbaijani; just being with Armenia may not be enough.”
