The US Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Alex Mooney visited the village of Odzisi near the occupation line. The Georgian State Security Service personnel have accompanied the congressmen and briefed them regarding the current situation and the tension at occupation line.

The US Congressmen had the opportunity to observe the Russian military base on the occupied territory from Odzisi village. As Adam Kinzinger said he is well aware of Georgian occupation issues.

We never admit Russia’s actions and this territory as Russian property, this territory belongs to Georgia. We never admit illegal occupation.

We also have information about illegal bordarization and inhuman treatment of Georgian citizens.

This is not only happening here but in Ukraine too. It is also illegal that Georgian citizens are not allowed to enter Georgian territory. We want to make it clear that Georgia is America’s Strategic Partner and we must urgently bring Georgia into NATO.

We visited Rehabilitation Center for Georgian Soldiers and as a soldier, I remembered the spirit of the Georgian people and soldiers. We stand by you. This is brotherhood and friendship, – Adam Kinzinger stated.

The US Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Alex Mooney are paying an official visit to Georgia.
