Amb. @CarlHartzellEU today reminded @GeorgianDream41 that creating State Inspector's Service @DPAofGeorgia was one of the preconditions of visa free travel and its annulment is not OK. One might recall that EU has visa suspension mechanism at place and #Georgia plays risky game.

The riot police dispersed demonstrators using tear gas and took control of main squar. Do you really believe @GeorgianDream41 that we will give up on our European choice and follow you to Russia?! Think again.
