I would call this law the “DAUDZINEBELI” (Hostile) law – it’s a pity, all this will not help the improvement of Georgian-US relations, – Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze said, while responding to the act MEGOBARI act initiated in the US Congress.
He claimed that the act initiated in the US Congress is not friendly, but hostile and will damage the relations between Georgia and the United States of America.
“This is a continuation of treason. It is cynical when the law being discussed in the Congress, which is called the friendly act, is directly hostile. I would call this law “DAUDZINEBELI” law, such a title would be more appropriate. It’s a pity, all this will not help the improvement of Georgian-US relations.
There were 2 coup attempts in 2020-2021, then in 2022 involving the previous ambassador [US]. Against this background, when people think not about healing and restarting the relationship, but about further ruining this broken one, it is sad. I call on everyone to act pragmatically and contribute to the improvement of Georgian-US relations”, said Kobakhidze.
MEGOBARI Act envisages sanctions against Georgian officials responsible for undermining Georgia’s democracy and tasks relevant U.S. government agencies to report to Congress about the improper influence and sanctions evasion, as well as the Russian intelligence assets in Georgia.
