U.S. Department of State on Political Developments in Georgia
The United States is deeply concerned by the recent political developments in Georgia, reads the statement of Ned Price, Spokesperson of the U.S. Department of State.
“We call on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid any actions or rhetoric that could escalate tensions or result in violence. We urge the Georgian government to act in line with its Euro-Atlantic aspirations and to reinforce its commitment to the principles of democracy, individual liberty, and rule of law by ensuring that its judicial and prosecutorial system is free of political bias.
The United States supports a democratic, secure, and prosperous Georgia. We will continue to work with Georgia, our strategic partner, to promote the rule of law and accountable institutions,” reads the statement.
