Congressmen Joe Wilson and Brendan F. Boyle, co-chairs of the Congressional European Union Caucus, have issued a statement regarding recent events in Georgia. They expressed their reactions to the developments in Tbilisi, where large numbers of Georgian citizens have been demonstrating.

The statement reads: “As co-chairs of the Congressional European Union Caucus, we are both outraged and inspired by the images coming out of Tbilisi, where thousands of Georgian citizens are tirelessly mobilizing in defense of the people’s decided path to EU accession and the sovereignty of their nation."

The congressmen also condemned actions against protestors: "We condemn the violent assault on peaceful protestors by pro-Russian actors in their attempts to undermine democracy. The will of free people will prevail.”

The statement reflects ongoing concerns about democratic processes and external influences in Georgia.
