The March 8 agreement was a historic achievement by the political forces of Georgia, – this is stated in the statement released by the US Embassy in Georgia.

The statement was posted on the  Facebook page of the US Embassy.

“The March 8 agreement was a historic achievement by the political forces of Georgia, intended to depolarize Georgia’s political system and create a better environment for the October parliamentary elections following the failure of promised constitutional amendments to move to fully proportional parliamentary elections in 2020. As facilitators to the dialogue, we assisted in creating a forum to build trust and allow for participants to make difficult compromises. It is not our role to make the content of those discussions public or to interpret the agreement.

The resulting agreement is well-known to the public. It was welcomed by Georgians and the international community alike. We note that this agreement is composed of two parts — one focused on the election system and the other on addressing the appearance of political interference in the judicial system. We call upon all sides to uphold the letter and spirit of both parts of the agreement with a view to its successful implementation”,  – the statement reads.
