Georgian Dream’s various anti-democratic actions violated the core principles of our strategic partnership based on shared values and commitment to democracy, the rule of law, civil society, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and anti-corruption efforts – the US suspended the action. mechanism.
The State Department believes that Georgian Dream’s decision contradicts the promise of integration into the EU and NATO, which is enshrined in the country’s constitution.
By stopping the process of Georgia’s accession to the EU, Georgian Dream rejected the possibility of closer ties with Europe and made Georgia more vulnerable to the Kremlin, according to Washington.
The United States also condemns the use of excessive force against demonstrators and calls on all parties to ensure peaceful protests.
We again call on the Georgian government to return to the Euro-Atlantic path, conduct a transparent investigation into all violations in the parliamentary elections and repeal anti-democratic laws that restrict freedom of assembly and expression, the statement said.
