German Ambassador: references to Nazi-Germany are ‘historically, politically, morally wrong’

German Ambassador to Georgia Peter Fischer on Wednesday responded to Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s recent remarks, stressing that the use of terms and comparisons related to Nazi-Germany was unacceptable.

“I repeat what I have said before: Germany objects to use of terms and comparisons related to Nazi-Germany that are historically, politically, and morally wrong because they demean the victims and raise false implications,” Fischer wrote on social media.

His statement came after Kobakhidze said during a briefing at the Government Administration earlier the day that “the lies and statements coming from European bureaucracy are a continuation of Goebbels-style propaganda”.
