Georgian Dream MP Irakli Zarqua reacted to the president's statement and said there was no need to reconsider the visa regime with Russia. According to him, there is a filtering system in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and special services, which excludes infiltration of undesirables.
"As for Russia, we have a filtering system, excluding the entry of undesirables into our country. The vivid evidence of this is how many Russian citizens crossed the border, including those using it as a transit, it was also said, although there was no provocation here. This shows that both the relevant structures of the government and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and special services work accordingly, they have appropriate filtration, so there is no need to refine it," Zarkua said.
