YEREVAN.- “Statements made by the Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Tengiz Sharmanashvili that I represent a threat to national security and saw discord in the Armenian-Georgian relations need to be clarified,” said Armenian MP Shirak Torosyan.

Sharmanashvili must explain which actions in particular pose threat to Georgia’s national security, said Torosyan who is also the head of Javakhk union.

“The Ambassador should give explanations instead of making unsubstantiated statements,” he added.

Speaking at a press conference this May Ambassador Sharmanashvili said that Georgia, like Armenia, has the right to ban a person from entering the country for reasons of national and political security without giving any explanations.

According to him, Shirak Torosyan’s nationalistic statements which are sometimes unbalanced make him undesired guest in Georgia.
