“I am deeply concerned that in recent weeks the Georgian government’s choices have moved the country away from its Euro-Atlantic future, a destination desired by the overwhelming majority of Georgians,” said the US Ambassador to Georgia, Robin Dunnigan.
The US Embassy in Georgia published the Ambassador’s statement.
“Unfortunately, the ruling party appears determined to advance legislation that the EU has clearly said is incompatible with Georgia’s EU aspirations.
Additionally, some in the ruling party have chosen to attack the greatest supporters of Georgia’s sovereignty, the United States and the European Union. We have stood next to Georgia at the negotiations with a country that occupies 20 percent of Georgia’s territory. We have supported the preservation of Georgia’s language, cultural heritage, and historical legacy.
We have built a partnership over the last 32 years based on shared values and a shared desire to see Georgia as a member of the Western family of democracies. We refuse to change our commitment to the Georgian people and to Georgia’s future, a future in Europe where all Georgians who have seen the benefits of our investments and programs know greater peace and prosperity will be found.
Recently we have invited senior members of the Georgian Government to engage directly with the most senior leaders in the United States to discuss our strategic partnership and any concerns with U.S. assistance; unfortunately, the Georgian side chose not to accept this invitation.
We urge the Georgian government to recommit the country to its Euro-Atlantic future, as written in Georgia’s constitution. The United States remains committed to our enduring relationship and wants only peace, stability, and prosperity for the Georgian people,” Robin Dunnigan stated.
