Representatives of the delegation of various Orthodox countries around the world participated in the Divine Liturgy along with Metropolitan Grigol of Poti and Khobi.

Among them were the clergy who were sent from the Russian Patriarchate, who talked about Father Vladimir"s mission in the Russian Patriarchate in Georgia.

As regards Gregol"s assessment of the clergy sent by the Russian Patriarchate to Georgia, the Archbishop refrains from concrete comments.

Bishop Grigol had the following response to the journalist"s question whether the Russian religious person who will arrive will be serving the implementation of Russia"s interests in Georgia.

"All the people and all the clergy protect God"s special existence before man. The Georgian man should always defend the interests of Georgia, it is natural that we are not waiting for anything else. You ask me what you already know very well, "said Archbishop Grigoli.
