This article appears to be a statement from the Parliament of Georgia responding to the MEGOBARI Act, which is an American bill aimed at imposing new sanctions on Georgia. The statement presents various arguments and accusations against the bill, claiming that it is based on lies and double standards.
The main points made in the statement are:
1. **Georgia’s European Integration Status**: Despite facing unfair treatment from European bureaucracy, Georgia has still achieved EU candidate status.
2. **NATO Accession**: Georgia’s integration into NATO is considered unrealistic even in the medium term by both the new U.S. administration and NATO.
3. **Relations with Russia, China, and Iran**:
* Georgia does not have diplomatic relations with Russia due to occupied territory.
* The country has trade turnover of less than 12% with Russia.
* A joint assessment mission by the US, EU, and UK found that Georgia does not allow its territory to be used to circumvent Russian sanctions.
* Since February 2022, Georgia has joined over 600 international acts supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and condemning Russia’s military aggression.
4. **MEGOBARI Act**: The statement suggests that the bill is driven by the “deep state’s” hostile attitude towards Georgia and that the U.S. Congress is damaging its reputation in Georgian society.
The Parliament of Georgia expresses hope that the new administration will weaken the “deep state,” allowing the U.S. Congress to regain its former glory. They also express their readiness to cooperate with the U.S. Congress on issues that may strengthen relations between Georgia and the United States.
