Georgia received yet another warning from the USA
TBILISI , January 19, 2020 , 16:40 - REGNUM The Georgian government received another warning from the US representative - this time from Republican Congressman Markvey Mullin , who posted on Twitter his open letter to Georgian Prime Minister George Gaharii and urged him to end the oppression American companies.
The congressman also addressed his message to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , the ministers of trade, finance, energy, the co-chairs of the Group of Friends of Georgia in the US Congress and the national security adviser. Among the public addressees of Mullin’s message were two television companies Mtavari Archi and TV Pirveli, which were opposed to the current Georgian authorities.
Marcvein Mullin joins the recent message of his colleagues, co-chairs of the Group of Friends of Georgia - Adam Kinsinger and Jerry Connolly , who almost a month ago, on December 13, sent a full “alarm” letter to the Georgian authorities because of Georgia’s deviation from the path of democratic reforms.
“ As a member of Congress, I am writing to you because of my growing concern about Georgia’s tangible deviation from democratic values ??and the associated deterioration of the economy, ” Mullin begins his message.
Judging by the letter, the main subject of his concern was the attitude of the Georgian authorities towards the American oil and gas company Frontera Resources, which has been working in Georgia for many years trying to find new deposits and broadcasts about the presence of rich energy reserves on the Black Sea shelf. But she has not yet presented evidence of her hypothesis and research results.
“Despite the progress that Georgia has achieved since independence in 1991, a tangible negative trend has emerged in recent years in indicators of democracy and a free market economy, which has not gone unnoticed in the United States. The result of all this is a reduction in foreign direct investment, as American and European business interests are attacked in Georgia with the aim of harassment and expropriation. An excellent example of this is the oil and gas company Frontera Resources from Texas, ”the congressman writes.
He further confirmed the US dissatisfaction with the policies of the current government of Georgia by the fact that Facebook closed social networks associated with the ruling party “Georgian Dream”, which, according to the congressman, were aimed at suppressing opposition views and spreading anti-Western sentiments in Georgia. Mullin believes that these accounts were mainly directed against the United States.
The United States, according to the Congressman, reacted to the actions of the Georgian authorities accordingly and reflected in the budget laws for 2019 and 2020 concern about the progressive hostile actions of the Georgian government against democratic values, principles of a free market economy and American business interests
