UNM’s Tsiskarishvili: US must know Georgia has political forces capable of leading country out of crisis

Petre Tsiskarishvili, Secretary General of the opposition United National Movement, on Wednesday said it was important for the United States to recognise that Georgia had political forces capable of overcoming the current crisis and implementing fundamental democratic reforms.

“Our friends and partners in the US need to know that Georgia has political forces able to lead the country out of the crisis unfortunately caused by Georgian Dream, and that we can carry out fundamental democratic reforms. Equally important, Georgia must return to its values-based alignment with the US and Europe and restore the strategic political partnership with the US that existed for decades between our two countries,” Tsiskarishvili added.

According to the party’s press office, the UNM delegation - consisting of Chair Tina Bokuchava, Tsiskarishvili, and party leader Levan Sanikidze - began its official visit to Washington, with a meeting with Congressman Joe Wilson.
