U.S. Calls on Georgia to Lift State of Emergency

The U.S. State Department said in a statement on November 8 that it welcomed the Georgian authorities? decision to hold early presidential elections and a referendum on the timing of parliamentary elections.


?At the same time, we continue to urge the Government of Georgia to lift the state of emergency and restore all media broadcasts. These are necessary steps to restore the democratic conditions for the election and referendum. We call on all parties to maintain calm, respect the rule of law, and address their differences through serious discussions to strengthen Georgia?s democratic political system. These discussions should take place in a spirit of compromise and in support of Georgia?s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and commitment to human rights.?
