Allegations against one of our assistance projects are false and are, fundamentally mischaracterize the goals of our assistance to Georgia. Such a statement made Principal Deputy Spokesperson of the US Department of State, while answering the question of one of the journalists.

“Let me boil down specifically unto the mention of USAID that you just highlighted. Our embassy in Tbilisi put out a very clear statement about this, and – which I’ll just reiterate here, in that allegations against one of our assistance projects are false and are – fundamentally mischaracterize the goals of our assistance to Georgia.

As always, our assistance is transparent. And we will continue to support Georgian organizations that work to secure fundamental rights provided by the Georgian constitution and Georgia’s international commitments and obligations”, - said Vedant Patel.
