**US Embassy’s Statement Also Criticized**
The leader of the parliamentary majority also criticized the statement made by the US Embassy regarding the echo of Bidzina Ivanishvili’s statement. He argued that this was an attempt to intimidate a sanctioned person, but it would have no effect on Ivanishvili, who is known for his strong stance against external pressures.
**Conclusion**
