Against the backdrop of the extremely difficult situation in the region and the acute political crisis in the country that harms the national interests of all Georgians, it is clear that greater involvement of the United States is welcome, - Grigol Gegelia, Foreign Secretary of the Lelo-Strong Georgia party, said while assessing the telephone conversation between Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

According to Gegelia, there is a specific political price that the Georgian Dream party must pay for stabilizing relations with the US.

“We remember very well that over the past year and a half, the United States has been constantly calling on the regime to take specific steps, which were set as a kind of price in order to ultimately stabilize relations between the United States and Georgia. This is the political price that the Georgian Dream must pay in the form of specific steps for stabilization, and, of course, Rubio’s call indicates that there is a push in this direction, because the United States has a very specific vision regarding which regime should take which type of actions in order for America to have stable relations with them,” Gegelia said.

For information, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

According to information released by the Department of State, “Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Georgia Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze today. They discussed areas of mutual interest including security in the Caucasus and Black Sea region.”
