Lloyd Austin’s statement literally means that Georgia is a reliable ally and the US has made progress in cooperation with it. Such a comment made today the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament Archil Talakvadze.

“When unsubstantiated accusations are being made against Georgia by the opposition and their foreign partners, Lloyd Austin’s statement has a special political weight.

That is why it is very important to underline what statement was actually made. This statement literally means that our main partner, the US, says that Georgia is a reliable ally and America has made progress in cooperation with the country.

Perhaps, this answer should be written down by the leaders of the radical opposition and the false part of the media, which repeat the messages of the United National Movement.

The statements of the radical opposition and related media have one common purpose - to somehow damage Georgia, which contradicts the country’s national interests.

Everyone knows what status should be granted to the political force that works against its own country, and that’s why these people have zero support from the society”, - said Archil Talakvadze.
