The verdict by way of Georgian Dream to droop Georgia’s EU accession procedure is going towards the promise to the Georgian other folks enshrined of their charter to pursue complete integration into the Eu Union and NATO. Via postponing Georgia’s EU accession procedure, Georgian Dream has rejected the chance for nearer ties with Europe and made Georgia extra liable to the Kremlin.
The Georgian other folks overwhelmingly reinforce integration with Europe. The US condemns the over the top use of drive by way of police towards Georgians in quest of to workout their rights to meeting and expression, together with their freedom to peacefully protest. We name on each side to verify protests stay non violent.
Georgian Dream’s more than a few anti-democratic movements have violated the core tenets of our U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership, which used to be in line with shared values and commitments to democracy, rule of legislation, civil society, admire for human rights and basic freedoms, and anti-corruption efforts. Consequently, the USA has suspended this mechanism.
We reiterate our name to the Georgian govt to go back to its Euro-Atlantic trail, transparently examine all parliamentary election irregularities, and repeal anti-democratic rules that prohibit freedoms of meeting and expression.
