US Ambassador: Georgia needs no more political instability or violence

US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan commented on ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili’s planned arrival in Georgia. She said Georgia needed no more political instability or violence.

“I’m not going to speculate on what Mr Saakashvili may or may not do. There’s already been plenty of commentary on that, including from Mr Saakashvili. I think we can all agree that what Georgia needs, is a calm, peaceful environment and no more political instability or violence. That is what we should all be trying to contribute to. And I hope that this is what we are going to see tomorrow and in the days after the election,” Degnan said.

Mikheil Saakashvili announced he would come to Georgia on election day while the Georgian officials pledged to arrest him upon arrival.

Georgia will hold municipal elections on October 2.
