Of course, we stand by the Georgian people. Such a statement made the Spokesperson of the US Department of State.

“We have made clear that we stand with the people of Georgia. We have made clear that we support their EU ambitions. We have made clear that we support their further integration with their Euro and Atlantic partners.

We have put, as you know, under review the – a significant amount of assistance that we provide to the Government of Georgia and have suspended USD 95 million of that assistance because of steps that we have seen them take.

And we will continue to look at whether there are additional measures that would be appropriate; and if so, we won’t hesitate to use them”, - said Matthew Miller.
