Nika Gvaramia: At the meeting, there were not only the Senator, but also representatives from the State Department. We told them that in such a situation, Georgia cannot be an interesting country for anyone, because it serves the interests that Russia has

"At the meeting, it wasn’t just the Senator—there were also representatives from the State Department. Naturally, we told them that in such a situation, Georgia cannot be an interesting country for anyone, because it currently serves the interests that Russia has regarding this country,” said Nika Gvaramia, leader of the ‘Coalition for Change’, assessing the meeting with Senator Steve Daines.

According to him, there is great concern about the ongoing processes.

“Naturally, one of the topics of the meeting was the arrests, especially the arrest of Nika Melia. At the meeting, it wasn’t just the Senator—there were also representatives from the State Department. Naturally, we told them that in such a situation, Georgia cannot be an interesting country for anyone, because it currently serves the interests that Russia has regarding this country, and no one will benefit from this—neither the Georgian people inside the country, nor the West, which is the guarantor of our security, outside the country.

There is great concern about the ongoing processes. We talked about how, for the first time in the history of all three Caucasian countries, Georgia has become the country about which a State Department representative—Rubio—said that it has an anti-American government. This is true: yes, there is an anti-American government in Georgia that must be overthrown,”** Nika Gvaramia noted.
