I am proud to stand beside the people of Gugutiantkari to say that the United States will never accept the Russian occupation of Georgia’s sovereign territory, – Chris Davenport, Information Officer of US Embassy said in Gugutiantkari, Gori Municipality today.

US Embassy in Georgia has published Chris Davenport’s comment on Facebook page.

“This is the village of Gugutiantkari, filled with beautiful fruit orchards, populated by wonderful people. It was heartbreaking to see today how Russian occupation forces are taking land and homes from people who want only to live in peace in their own country. Their livelihoods have been taken from them, and their community is being cut in two, which makes it even more moving to hear their resilient messages about the unity and hope of this magnificent country. Today, I am proud to stand beside the people of Gugutiantkari to say that the United States will never accept the Russian occupation of Georgia’s sovereign territory.” – Chris Davenport said.

The representatives of the diplomatic corps have arrived in the village of Gugutiantkari, Gori Municipality today.

Occupation forces resumed installation of barbed wire fences in the village of Gugutiantkari yesterday since morning. The fence has been already fixed on the iron pillars. As a result, two residential houses were left beyond the fence.

Representatives of the occupation forces began the installation of artificial barriers in Gugutiantkari village on August 7.
