James Appathurai: The decision by Georgian Dream to withdraw from the April 19 Agreement is deeply regrettable

„The decision by Georgian Dream to withdraw from the April 19 Agreement is deeply regrettable, - said in a comment to Europetime James Appathurai, Deputy Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs and Security Policy and the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia.

„The April 19 Agreement sets out the best way forward for reforms that will benefit Georgia, and help Georgia advance on its Euro-Atlantic path; this is why Georgia had included implementation of the Agreement in its Annual National Programme, which helps to prepare Georgia for eventual NATO membership. All parties, including the United National Movement, should commit to, and support the implementation of the reforms necessary to achieve Georgia’s democratic goals“, - Said James Appathurai.
