**Georgia’s Parliamentary Leader Responds to US Congress Criticism**
In a statement, Gia Volski, the First Vice-Speaker of Georgia’s Parliament, has addressed the recent criticism from US congressmen regarding the MEGOBARI Act. The act, which aims to strengthen relations between Georgia and the United States, has been met with opposition in Washington.
**A Difficult Situation, But Not Without Hope**
According to Volski, the Georgian side acknowledges that the current situation is challenging, but not insurmountable. He emphasized that despite the criticism, there are still avenues for improvement and a chance for Georgia’s relations with the US to be re-established on a more solid footing.
**A Recent Visit by the Vice Prime Minister**
Volski mentioned that recently, Georgia’s Vice Prime Minister had made a long visit to the United States, engaging in talks on both economic and political issues. This development, Volski believes, demonstrates a willingness to engage with Washington and find common ground.
**The Interests of All Countries Come First**
In his statement, Volski highlighted that countries like the US have strategic partnerships with neighboring nations, citing the example of Armenia. He pointed out that these partnerships are based on mutual interests and emphasized that Georgia expects the same pragmatism from its own partner, the United States.
**The MEGOBARI Act to be Discussed Today**
Today, the MEGOBARI Act will be discussed in the US House of Representatives. Volski’s comments demonstrate a desire for a constructive dialogue with Washington and an expectation that Georgia’s interests will be taken into account.
As this development unfolds, it remains to be seen how the US Congress will ultimately respond to the Georgian government’s efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations.
