The Georgian people alone decide the future of their country. Such a statement made Matthew Miller, the Spokesperson of the US Department of State.

QUESTION: On South Caucasus, we have Russian officials over the weekend stating on the record that Russia is, quote, “prepared to assist” the ruling Georgian Dream party if – in maintaining power if required. Any concern about Russian attempts to meddle into Georgia’s upcoming [elections]…

MILLER: Look, so we have seen a number of Russian not just attempts, but we’ve seen outright Russian interference in elections all throughout the region and all throughout the world, and we are always vigilant in watching those. And as you have heard us say on a number of occasions, it is important that the Georgian people and the Georgian people alone decide the future of their country.
