Patriarch asked me to refrain from crossing into the occupied territories, so I take into account his request, - Mikheil Gakheladze, the father of Zaza Gakheladze.

According to him, the government will be given another term and if Zaza Gakheladze is not released in a month, the whole family will move to occupied Tskhinvali.

“Yesterday we met with the clergy who conveyed the request of the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia to refrain from crossing into the occupied territories. Out of great respect for the patriarch, I take into account his request. The bishops also told us yesterday that a letter on behalf of His Holiness will also be sent to the Russian Patriarch asking for help”, - said Mikheil Gakheladze.
