Degnan: It is Nika Melia’s personal decision to leave or stay in prison
US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan stated that it is up to Melia to decide whether he leaves prison or not.
Degnan says that the agreement reached between the government and the opposition is discussing ways to free Nika Melia.
“It is important for the country to find a way forward, a way to continue its political life. This is what this agreement serves. As for Melia, it is his personal decision. The agreement talks about different ways to release him,” Kelly Degnan said.
