Congressman Adam Kinzinger responds to a meeting with Archil Talakvadze, the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia. The member of Congress posted a statement on his Twitter page.

“After our meeting, I engaged in dialogue with various parties involved in Georgia’s political crisis. While progress was made, it became apparent to me that there would continue to be unresolved differences between the ruling party and the opposition.

Democracy is not easy and while protests are normal in a free country, they must remain peaceful. As well, citizens must live with the assurance that their justice system will be fair to all, independent and without regard for political affiliation.

In Georgia, compromises must be made by all parties involved to achieve the democracy and freedoms they seek. As co-chair of House Georgia Caucus, I remain steadfastly committed to the strong and enduring U.S.-Georgia relationship”, - tweeted Kinzinger.
