Russia is ready to participate in discussions over its obligation of paying 10 million Euro in compensation to Georgian citizens who were illegally deported from Russia back in 2006. Such a statement made today the Minister of Justice of Georgia.
“The January 21, 2021 judgment of the ECHR in the Russia-Georgia war case may have had an influence on Russia’s decision to take part in the discussions with the mediation of the Committee of Minister of the Council of Europe.
We have a slight improvement and Russia is ready to participate in the discussions. In any case the step by Russia means that Georgia has had the right approach to the issue. Through the active communication with the Committee of Ministers of Council of Europe we have managed to make Moscow participate in the discussions”, - explained Gocha Lortkipanidze.
