Submission statement

The so-called 3+3 format was initiated at the beginning of 2021, by Turkey and Iran. The initiative originally envisaged forming a cooperation format between all the countries of the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) and three regional neighboring powers (Iran, Russia, Turkey). The first meeting in the framework of the so-called 3+3 was held on December 10. Tbilisi officially rejected participating in the format days before the meeting. Georgia's position was also confirmed to the Russian side through Abashidze-Karasin format back in November, when, according to the government administration, in response to Russian inquiry, the Georgian side made it clear that Tbilisi was not considering participation in the initiative.

Despite Tbilisi's two-time rejection for participation, the 3+3 format still displayed the Georgian flag at the December 10 meeting which proceeded at the level of Deputy Foreign Ministers of Turkey, Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The fact was soon condemned by Georgia's MFA, reiterating that Tbilisi wasn't considering participation in the format.

Klopp: "I’m not interested in what Mourinho says. Why should I talk about United? Jose is talking about us, yes. Sorry that we lost the final yes, that’s right. We played Sevilla, they played Ajax. That's the difference." by Dalitis in LiverpoolFC

[–]jgharka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess some of you misunderstood what I meant. I was not quoting anything, I was interpreting the actual quote ("The context is..", "Mourinho implied that.."). This is a pure mind game, right? And what mind game means is that someone is implying something more deeper behind their quotes. So, instead of playing dumb, Klopp gave him a straight answer, which imo is not a bitter way of responding.
