Personal sanctions are proof that hijacking elections, torturing Georgian citizens and committing serious rights violations against them will not be chosen by anyone - Ana Natsvlishvili, said at a briefing regarding the next package of sanctions from the USA.
According to Natsvlishvili, the sanctions prove the solidarity and support of the US towards the Georgian people.
"These personal sanctions are proof once again that hijacking elections, falsifying the will of the Georgian people, torturing Georgian citizens and committing serious rights violations against them is not a choice. The personal sanctions are a confirmation of support and solidarity from the USA towards the citizens of Georgia who have been protesting continuously, principles and unitedly against the violent government and its policies that are not for Georgia, but for Russia, in Tbilisi and other cities and villages for the 15th day. The policy that stopped Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration process.
We also expect the Biden administration to take even tougher steps. Also, we fully expect that President Trump and his new administration will also be supporters of the Georgian people and solidarity with democracy in Georgia. It is based on the facts that appear; The bipartisan support that exists from the US side towards the Georgian people. Also, the "Friendly Act", which we expect to be adopted soon; Also, we saw that citizens' appeal to President Trump is spreading, which more and more citizens are joining in Georgia. We are sure that under the conditions of the new administration, the attitude towards Russia's servile and autocratic regime will become more rigid.
I am absolutely sure that the day will come in Georgia when the violent regime will have to answer to the reformed, fair and independent Georgian justice system. will have to answer for all the crimes they committed against the citizens of Georgia and the state of Georgia.
There is only one way out of the worst crisis created - the immediate and unconditional release of all those people who have been taken prisoner by the Russian government; of those patriotic people who are accused of loving this country, and secondly, calling new, fair elections. The regime has no other way out in the created situation", said Ana Natsvlishvili.
