Tbilisi / 30.04.18 / Turan: Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, Wess Mitchell, called on Russia to withdraw its military contingent from Georgia. The US supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia, Mitchell said at the NATO-Georgia People's Diplomacy Forum, which opened in Tbilisi today. According to him, US President Donald Trump supports Georgia's integration into NATO.
"Donald Trump supports the 2008 Bucharest Summit Declaration (the alliance agreed that Ukraine and Georgia will become NATO members) and calls on the NATO member countries to fulfill the commitments undertaken in this direction," Mitchell said.
The Assistant Secretary of State recalled that the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, also provided concrete support to Georgia on this issue.
"Georgia's membership in NATO does not depend on Russia or any other country. This is the whole solution of Georgia. Only Georgia can make a decision about its future. No state has the right to interfere with Georgia's integration into NATO," said the US Assistant Secretary of State. -0-
