US Congressmen : U.S. House of Representatives recently demonstrated its commitment to Georgia by passing the Georgia Support Act - It is now the Georgian government’s turn to follow through with its commitment to the Georgian people

We look forward to working with you to ensure that Georgia’s democracy only grows stronger in the years to come, co-chairs of the U.S. Congressional Georgia Caucus Adam Kinzinger and Gerald E. Connolly said in a letter sent to Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia.

“Georgia has been reliable and strategic partner of the U.S. for almost thirty years, they noted that the U.S. House of Representatives recently demonstrated its commitment to Georgia by passing the Georgia Support Act, that asserts the United States’ continued support for the independence and sovereignty of Georgia, as well as reaffirms U.S. opposition to Russian aggression in the region. It is now the Georgian government’s turn to follow through with its commitment to the Georgian people. We look forward to working with you to ensure that Georgia’s democracy only grows stronger in the years to come,” the letter reads.

The two Congressmen also noted that since declaring independence in 1991, Georgia has developed a strong democratic foundation and demonstrated a commitment to democratic values, including free and fair elections.

“That is why we were shocked to hear about the collapse of promised reforms in the Georgia Parliament to move to a proportional electoral system. Georgia has been working on these reforms for years with the European Union and the Venice Commission. This commitment was made not only to the international community, but most importantly to the Georgian people. It is our hope that Georgian officials will resume negotiations immediately and pass this important reform package,” the Congressmen said in a letter of December 13.
