According to the U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Richard Norland, both the United States and every country in Europe are facing the problem of young people succumbing to appeals for radicalization. 

The Ambassador made this statement when commenting on departure of Georgian young people to Syria.

"The U.S. and every country in Europe are facing the same problem of young people succumbing to appeals for radicalization from certain elements. We all have a challenge to unite economic, social, political and security measures to deal with this problem. 

Georgia’s situation is not unique. We greatly appreciate our cooperation with the Georgian government in dealing with this common problem,"- said the Ambassador.
