Kelly Degnan: Senior officials in Washington strongly condemn Mr. Lukashenko’s visit to occupied Abkhazia

30.09.22 15:00


I would like to emphasize the message from senior officials in Washington strongly condemning Mr. Lukashenko’s visit to occupied Abkhazia yesterday. The United States stands firmly with the people of Georgia, whose political leaders across the political spectrum have spoken out against this unacceptable visit that violated international laws, US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan said.

 

“It's particularly painful and I would say offensive that this visit happened a day after we were marking the 29th anniversary of fall of Sokhumi, when we, I personally and many others were laying a wreath to honor the memory of all those who died in the war in Abkhazia.

 

United States is a steadfast supporter of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within the nationally recognized boundaries, and we will continue to work for the peaceful restoration of the occupied territories, and for peace throughout this region," said the Ambassador.
