Georgia can initiate its own investigation into any information or accusation, we have done what US law requires us to do, US Ambassador to Georgia, Kelly Degnan, told Imedi TV while talking about the designation of Georgian judges.

 

According to Kelly Degnan, the visa sanctions are based on information that is publicly available and that information and accusations have been known for years.

 

"The visa sanctions announced yesterday by Secretary of State Blinken are required under US law when we have sufficient evidence that people are involved in corruption. It is this careful process and this requirement and obligation to take this action that determines whether a person is eligible to enter the US.

 

These visa sanctions do not allow specific people to enter America. This is based on information that is publicly available, and that information and accusations have been known for years, and American law requires us to do so when we have sufficient information. Georgia can initiate its own investigation into any information or accusation, we have done what US law requires us to do," said Kelly Degnan on Imedi TV air.
