"It has politically and financially special importance for Georgia, because this is the first time that the occupation was fixed in the US legislative act, which once again confirms firm support to our territorial integrity," - commented Minister of Foreign Affairs on the act signed by Donald Trump at a media briefing held by the Georgian Foreign Ministry.
