Developments in the Republic of Georgia
Statement from Wilson Center Global Fellow and former US Ambassador to the Republic of Georgia, Kenneth Yalowitz
"Georgia may well be at a crossroads in its democratic development. The use of force to arrest the leader of the opposition sets a bad precedent for using what should be an impartial justice system for political purposes. Georgia’s leadership must decide whether to continue on the path of being part of the Euro-Atlantic community based on democratic values and respect for human rights or slip backwards."
