Labor Party Wants U.S. Sanctions on Georgian Government

Shalva Natelashvili, the leader of Labor Party, said he was requesting the U.S. Congress to set up an investigation commission to probe into activities of those officials from the Bush administration, who, as he put it, “were backing and strengthening Saakashvili’s criminal regime.”

“We hope that the new U.S. administration will give opportunity to the Georgian people to elect freely its government without imposing puppets from outside,” Natelashvili said at a news conference on January 21. “We also demand the U.S. Congress to impose political-diplomatic sanctions against his [President Saakashvili’s] regime.”
