Georgian parliamentary minority demanded explanations from Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze regarding her recent remarks on Karabakh.

MP Akakiy Minashvili said foreign minister is incompetent to do her job and her remarks are embarrassing Georgia.

“The statement on Karabakh made in Lithuania raised questions about the prime minister’s visit to Yerevan. We also remember the hasty statement before premier’s visit to Baku,” Gruziya Online quotes Minashvili.

In his turn, Prime Minister Ivanishvili refused to comment on Azerbaijani reports regarding Panjikidze’s remarks on Karabakh. The reports mentioned Panjikidze allegedly said “resolution of Karabakh conflict is possible only based on territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.”

Ivanishvili said foreign minister will return to Georgian on Thursday and will comment on the situation.

Meanwhile, Georgian and Armenian media reported that during the meeting in Lithuania, Panjikidze noted “she respects territorial integrity of Azerbaijan” but did not mention Karabakh.
