"All those who are responsible will be punished," -said the Minister of Education Aleksandre Jejelava in relation to the sending of the Georgian pupils to the Artek camp in the Crimea annexed by Russia.

Earlier, the Ministry of Education condemned this fact.

"This is absolutely unacceptable decision of school teachers and administration and families. It is even more surprising that families decided to send their children to the occupied territories and it is very sad that a school teacher or school administrator might make such a decision.

"We will investigate this situation and at least we are dealing with a very wrong decision and and all those who are responsible will be punished ,"- said Jejelava.

Six pupils of the public school # 146 and their teacher left for Crimea on August 7, and the information became known today.
