The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia reminded the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili at the extraordinary plenary session of the Parliament that he is no longer the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia and the foreign policy of the country is determined only by the Parliament and the Government.
President Salome Zurabishvili presented an annual report to the highest legislative body at an extraordinary session, where she expressed her displeasure because the parliament did not express a desire to hear information about her meetings in Europe and the United States of America.
"The President expressed his displeasure that he wanted the Parliament to hear about his travels, but I have to remind the Madam President that he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but today he is not the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the foreign policy of the country is determined only by the Parliament and the Government, and he as According to the country's constitution, the president has no contact with foreign policy", said Fridon Injia.
According to him, if the president considers the issues of foreign relations based on his experience abroad, in such a case, he should agree with the parliament, the government, the one who determines the country's foreign policy.
"During such meetings, certain issues that need to be resolved are put on the agenda, and the president does not have the opportunity to make decisions at such a time. And this, I think, harms the country. Therefore, if it is agreed with the relevant institutions that are concerned with the determination of foreign policy, then the trips of the president to Europe or America will be more effective, that is when there will be complete agreement", said Fridon Injia.
