White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan calls on all sides “to avoid escalation and return to negotiations in support of Georgian democracy.”

“As the Department of State Spokesperson says, we are concerned by Nika Melia’s arrest in Georgia and call on all sides to avoid escalation and return to negotiations in support of Georgian democracy,” Jake Sullivan tweeted.

The riot police detained the opposition United National Movement (UNM) party leader Nika Melia at the party’s headquarters on Tuesday morning.
