“During the most recent visit of Senator Shaheen and Representative Turner, former President Saakashvili was not a topic of discussion,” notes the statement released by the US Embassy.

“Neither disinformation, nor speculation help resolve disagreements. During the most recent visit of Senator Shaheen and Representative Turner, former President Saakashvili was not a topic of discussion.  That the United States wants a good relationship with Georgia was a topic, and the first step to get back on track must come from the Georgian government.  We wait to hear its proposal,” the statement reads.
