17 years ago, Russian forces invaded Georgia. Despite this aggression, the Georgian people have refused to accept Russian interference and continue to fight for their freedom and self-determination. Congress should pass the MEGOBARI Act to help them in their efforts, - said American Senator and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jim Risch (Republican Party).

“On this day 17 years ago, Russian forces invaded Georgia. Still today, Russia illegally occupies 20% of Georgia’s sovereign territory. Despite this aggression, the Georgian people have refused to accept Russian interference and continue to fight for their freedom and self-determination. Congress should pass the MEGOBARI Act to help them in their efforts”, .
