US Assistant Secretary of State on foreign agents draft law: Obviously, this is a law based on the interests of Russia, not Georgia

Obviously, this is a law based on the interests of Russia, not the interests of Georgia. We think it is in the interests of Georgia to work more studiously in the direction of Euro-Atlantic integration, this law does not do that, said US Assistant Secretary of State Todd Robinson. Robinson stated this while commenting on the draft law on agents at the Radisson Hotel, where he is attending the opening of the international conference "Women in the Police".

According to him, the adoption of the said bill is not right for Georgia.

"We think this is not right for Georgia, and what is even more important, Georgians also think so. We will continue to work with the Government of Georgia to ensure that we work together on their priorities, which is Euro-Atlantic integration," said Todd Robinson.
