It will not be right to close the border, our compatriots live in Russia

"Of course, it is fundamentally important for us to protect the interests of people who live in Russia and have left Georgia. All issues must be weighed, this is the business of state agencies and they work responsibly. National security interests of the country were protected and will be protected to the end in the future. One of the main reasons for not closing the border is that our fellow citizens live in the Russian Federation and they also have an interest in entering Georgia. Therefore, closing the border will not be right and it will harm the interests of these people. Beyond that, there are a lot of issues that need to be taken into account. The security of the country will not be under threat under any circumstances, the situation is under control."

"Georgian Dream" chairman Irakli Kobakhidze said according to "Public Broadcaster".
