“Moving to Georgia, the Georgian Government, they refused to implement international investigation, and the process out there – today, the opposition declared that they will have non-stop process. The only request they have for the U.S. and the West is that they want to make sure you guys are standing with the people of Georgia,” was the question.
According to Matthew Miller, the US made clear that it supports the Georgian people’s Euro-Atlantic integration aspirations.
“We have made clear that we stand with the people of Georgia. We have made clear that we support their EU ambitions. We have made clear that we support their further integration with their Euro and Atlantic partners.
We have put, as you know, under review the – a significant amount of assistance that we provide to the Government of Georgia and have suspended $95 million of that assistance because of steps that we have seen them take. And we will continue to look at whether there are additional measures that would be appropriate; and if so, we won’t hesitate to use them,” he said.
