"We discussed issues of support to Georgia, including the adoption of prepared resolution," Schwartzsaid in an interview with the Georgian journalists.
She stressed that Vashadze briefed the Congressmen with the latest political and economic developments in Georgia. "We discussed the security issues of Georgia," Schwartz said, noting that the U.S. once again reaffirms the inviolability of territorial integrity of Georgia.
