Luke Coffey, director of the Foreign Policy Center at the American research organization The Heritage Foundation, responds to current events in Georgia on his Twitter page.

“The situation in Georgia is very serious. The Government has the responsibility to reduce political tensions. Instead it outrageously stormed the main opposition HQ and arrested its leader. This behavior is unbecoming. Only Putin wins. Calm is needed. Secretary Blinken needs to get on a plane!”, - twitted Luke Coffey.
