US condemns Georgia's parliament for adopting 'foreign influence' law

Description

The United States "condemns" the adoption of 'foreign influence' law by the Georgian parlaiment. "In passing this law, the ruling Georgian Dream Party moved the country farther away from the European integration path and ignored the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Georgian people, who have taken to the streets for weeks to oppose this law," US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller tells reporters.
