Baku-APA. "I, Giorgi Margvelashvili protect my dignity as an ordinary citizen and fulfill my commitment and protect the dignity of a presidential institution as the President", Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili has told reporters in response to a question regarding staying at the Avlabari presidential residence, APA reports quoting Georgian media. 

According to him, it is unacceptable for Bidzina Ivanishvili that Margvelashvili makes decisions on his own, but on the other hand Georgia does not need the President who will obey others’ instructions and leave the building.

“It is absolutely clear that the topic is purely of political character… Unfortunately, it is unacceptable for Mister Bidzina that I make decisions on my own regarding my position and independent activity,” Margvelashvili said.

According to him, this issue applies to each civilian and he does not think that as an ordinary citizen, he should forget his dignity and act as others say.

“As a President, I must protect the dignity of my institution as well as the free choice of any civilian. Therefore, this is a personal conflict between me and Bidzina,” Margvelashvili added.
