We will not allow anyone to restrict the rights of Georgian citizens in any way, but we will also not allow anyone to provoke a confrontation between our citizens on religious grounds. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

“Religious diversity is our historical fact and it is our richness. This is how we have been building our state for centuries and everyone should understand that the Government was and will be a guarantor of the constitutional rights of every citizen and we will not allow anyone to restrict the rights of Georgian citizens, but we will also not allow anyone to provoke a confrontation between our citizens on religious grounds through illegal actions.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs already has been tasked that wherever there is an attempt to provoke a confrontation between our people on religious grounds, the state and the MIA will act strongly”, - said Giorgi Gakharia.
