Foreign Policy #167: Losing the Other Georgia – Democracy is on Defense
The recent parliamentary election in Georgia has sparked international outcry, with allegations of voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and violent activity undermining the legitimacy of the results.

Your presidency has the potential to shape a brighter future for everyone.
