Yes, the relations between Georgia and the USA should be reviewed, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of the parliamentary majority, said while talking to journalists, thus responding to the statement made in the United States Senate.

According to him, if Georgia is a strategic partner of the United States of America, citizens should go freely to the USA and the country should have free trade and direct flights.

"Yes, Georgia-USA relations should be reviewed. We are not going to beg for what you call work. We also call on the American senators, who raise the issue in this way, that yes, Georgia-US relations should be reviewed. A visa should be opened, movement should be free - this is the right attitude between partners and friends. Visa liberalization and free trade should be opened, and if we are friends, we should be friends not only in words. Investments should be increased if we are strategic partners, citizens of Georgia should be able to go freely to the USA, we should have free trade and direct flights.

The strategic partnership has been signed for so many years, more than 10 years have passed and we do not have direct flights - yes, it should be reviewed.

What should be reviewed? - Free trade? Free air traffic or what? And where the American people's money goes in Georgia should also be reviewed, and the transparency law ensures this. We will review what depends on us, we will adopt the transparency law, and you will know everything about where the American taxpayer's money goes in Georgia," Mdinaradze said.

Mamuka Mdinaradze also spoke about the possible sanctions, during which he noted that it will be the first precedent in the world to sanction a person for the introduction and support of the law.

"It will be the first precedent in the world to sanction a person for the introduction and support of the law. I will wait with great pleasure to see what sanction they will impose on me. This sanction will be the first precedent in the world when the legislator will be sanctioned for the introduction of the law", said Mamuka Mdinaraze.

For the record, a bipartisan group of the US Senate sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Georgia on April 26, expressing deep concern and warning the Prime Minister that if the Foreign Agents Bill becomes law, they will be forced to encourage a change in US policy towards Georgia.
