The Parliament of Georgia issued a statement on Wednesday on “the so-called MEGOBARI Act” adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives, saying “On May 5, 2025, the House of Representatives adopted “the so-called MEGOBARI Act, one suffused in essence with extreme animosity toward the Georgian state, the Georgian people, and their elected authorities, including the Parliament of Georgia.”

“The so-called MEGOBARI Act relies on three key false accusations arguing that A) major democratic backsliding is underway in Georgia, B) Georgia’s authorities are blocking Euro-Atlantic integration, and C) Georgia is establishing inappropriate ties with “Russia, China, and other authoritarian regimes”—as clarified later, by “authoritarian regimes” the Act means Iran.

The so-called MEGOBARI Act requires no special analysis because even a quick glance reveals the spirit of animosity toward Georgia, the Georgian people, and Georgia’s authorities, not to mention that the document is technically flawed, containing numerous factual errors and logical contradictions.

Still, we believe that it would be advisable to respond to each false accusation set forth in the so-called MEGOBARI Act, relying on facts all the while,” reads the statement.
