The US Congressional delegation has visited the occupation line in the village of Odzisi near Georgia’s Russian-occupied Tskhinvali region on Monday.
First Deputy Head of the State Security Service (SSG) Alex Batiashvili and other employees of SSG briefed the Congressmen on the current situation on the ground.
“The visit once again underscores the support of American partners for Georgia’s territorial integrity,” Head of the State Security Analytical Service Giorgi Sabedashvili said.
“This is an important message, both to the Russian occupation forces and the international community, that Georgia is not alone and its partners support the sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Deputy Foreign Minister Lasha Darsalia noted.
The US delegation includes Congressmen Alex Mooney (West Virginia), Bryan Steil (Wisconsin), Kelly Armstrong (North Dakota), Carol Miller (West Virginia), and Ron Estes (Kansas).
