Another Russian opposition activist, Igor Yefremov, was not allowed into Georgia. He said he was surprised by the Georgian government's decision and believed that the government was pursuing the interests of Putin's regime.
"I was forced to flee because of recent events in Russia and my opposition activities.
It had become dangerous for me to stay in my home country, I have been living in Armenia for several months, many of my friends live in Georgia and I was told that I could come here because Georgians don't like Putin. I also agreed and left, but the border guards at the Armenian-Georgian border told me after a 4-hour wait that I could not enter Georgian territory, the reason was not explained.I want to tell the Georgian government that in 2008, when the Duma recognized the occupied territories of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali as independent states, I was a schoolboy, I support the territorial integrity of Georgia and oppose the Kremlin's aggressive policy against Georgia," Yefremov said. .
According to him, "the Georgian government is getting closer to Putin's regime step by step," and his friends were wrong when they advised him to come here.
