Georgian Foreign Ministry expects explanations from ambassador to U.S. on statements on pro-Russian forces among leadership

Georgian Ambassador to the United States Archil Gegeshidze is expected to explain his remarks to the media alleging that there are pro-Russian forces in the Georgian ruling establishment and his premature announcement of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's visit to Tbilisi scheduled for July 6.

Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani told journalists on Tuesday that Gegeshidze had been summoned to the Foreign Ministry to provide such explanations.

Gegeshidze, who arrived in Tbilisi in the early hours of Wednesday, told journalists he would offer comment on the situation only following his conversation at the Foreign Ministry.
