“Mr. Ivanishvili is a very influential Georgian - he has decided to leave politics and, as a result, we are no longer involved with him,” Kelly Degnan, the US ambassador to Georgia, told VOA on Vision America from Washington.
As Degnan explains, many Georgians respect the former chairman of the Georgian Dream.
"In all countries, we mainly cooperate with elected leaders, but we also talk and meet all influential Georgians in the whole spectrum of society, be it business, culture, media or other.
Mr. Ivanishvili is obviously a very influential Georgian, he made his contribution to business, education as a philanthropist and founded the party that runs the country today.
Many Georgians respect his contribution. "He decided to leave politics, and as a result, we are no longer involved with him because of his personal decision to leave politics," Degnan said.
