Unilateral reforms are not what Georgia needs. Georgia needs multiparty reforms that all of the leaders elected by Georgia’s voters can pursue and advance. So, I hope that we will see the agreement remain in force and continue to provide the kind of guidance that Georgian leaders to implement the necessary reforms, - stated US Ambassador to Georgia Kelly Degnan, in response to the question about the annulment of the April 19 agreement.
"All the statements, including our statement, all the statements that I have read, have made it clear how disappointed Georgia’s friends are that the Georgian Dream decided to withdraw from this agreement. It is the best roadmap negotiated by Georgia’s political leaders over six months for the kind of reforms that Georgia needs to do. The idea, the value of the agreement was that the parties negotiated this together, and committed together to pursue these reforms. So, it is our hope that the agreement can continue to provide a kind of a structure, a framework for the parties to work together. Unilateral reforms are not what Georgia needs. Georgia needs multiparty reforms that all of the leaders elected by Georgia’s voters can pursue and advance. So, I hope that we will see the agreement remain in force and continue to provide the kind of guidance that Georgian leaders to implement the necessary reforms", - stated Degnan.
In response to the question on possible US sanctions, the ambassador replied: "Sanctions, in my view, are premature until we see that there is a lack of good faith to fulfill the commitments that were made by the signatories to this agreement. We will continue to urge all parties who have not signed to sign. It is important that this is a broad agreement. But, in the meantime, those who did sign gave their word and committed to fulfill this agreement".
