„The United States is working closely with the EU to urge the ruling and opposition parties to resolve their conflict“, - said State Department Spokesperson in a comment with The EuropeTime.
„The United States wants Georgia to succeed as a secure, prosperous democracy and continue to advance its Euro-Atlantic integration. For that to happen, Georgia’s political leaders must reach a compromise that ends the current political crisis.
The United States is working closely with the EU to urge the ruling and opposition parties to resolve their conflict. We have publicly and privately called on all sides to deescalate the situation, engage in constructive dialogue, and make compromises to allow Georgia to move forward. We are disappointed that both the ruling party and opposition have not yet shown a willingness to prioritize the Georgian people’s interests over their own political interests.
While the ruling and opposition parties must all work toward a compromise, we have stressed the ruling party bears special responsibility in ensuring a compromise can be reached. It is critical the parties act in a manner consistent with vital democratic norms that form the foundation of values of the European and Euro-Atlantic community. We have conveyed our longstanding position to the Georgian leadership at the highest levels“, - said State Department Spokesperson.
