Speaker: Once Strasbourg ruling on Amaglobeli to remind ambassadors they were wrong, but again they won’t apologise

“Time will pass and ambassadors silenced by the Strasbourg Court’s decision in Mzia Amaglobeli’s case will remember how they were wrong, as they have been many times before, in assessing Georgian court verdicts,” wrote Georgia’s Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on social media.

According to him, politically motivated slander and attacks against Georgian justice have become the signature of some EU member states.

“Time will pass, and ambassadors silenced by the Strasbourg Court’s decision in Mzia Amaglobeli’s case will remember how they were wrong, as they have been many times before, in assessing Georgian court verdicts.
But, as has happened many times before, none of these embassies will apologise—just as they didn’t in Saakashvili’s case, Melia’s case, Gvaramia’s case, the Rustavi 2 case, or in the parliament storming case. They haven’t apologised in any single case where these embassies were proven wrong by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

Unfortunately, politically motivated slander and attacks against Georgian justice have become the signature of some EU members. Unfortunately, they have so devalued their own word,” Shalva Papuashvili wrote.

Twenty-four diplomatic missions issued a joint statement regarding the court decision against Mzia Amaglobeli.
