U.S. Embassy: Advancing Kremlin-inspired laws to be incompatible with desire for EU integration
The process and the draft laws raise real questions about the ruling party’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration, the Embassy of the United States in Georgia said in its statement on Tuesday.
“Today is a dark day for Georgia’s democracy. Parliament’s advancing of these Kremlin-inspired laws is incompatible with the people of Georgia’s clear desire for European integration and its democratic development. Pursuing these laws will damage Georgia’s relations with its strategic partners and undermine the important work of so many Georgian organizations working to help their fellow citizens. The process and the draft laws raise real questions about the ruling party’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration,” the U.S. Embassy states.
