The attendance of the Deputy Foreign Minister of Georgia at the solidarity event at the Iranian Embassy is morally wrong, the Israeli Embassy in Georgia says in a statement.

“ We were dismayed to learn that Georgia’s Deputy Foreign Minister attended a solidarity event at the Iranian embassy in Tbilisi. At a time when the West condemns Iran’s attacks on Israeli civilians and supports efforts to stop its nuclear and genocidal ambitions, it is deeply disappointing to see the Deputy Foreign Minister taking part in such an event. This is morally wrong,” the embassy said in a statement..

As a reminder, the Iranian Embassy today released information according to which the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Aleksandre Khvtisiashvili, made a note in the book of condolences opened at the embassy, ​​expressing condolences for those who died as a result of the Israeli attack and expressing solidarity with Iran.

According to the Iranian Embassy, ​​an event was held at the embassy in connection with the above.

“The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Aleksandre Khvtisiashvili, as well as representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Tbilisi, including the ambassadors of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Chargé d’Affaires of Iraq, the Military Attaché of China, as well as representatives of religious groups, including the Chairman of the Georgian Muslim Department, members of the Iranian diaspora and Georgian Iranians.

They made notes in the condolence book opened at the embassy, ​​expressed their condolences and Solidarity with Iran.

We express our deep gratitude to our friends and partners for their support and compassion during this difficult time,” reads the statement
