The opposition blames the Georgian Foreign Ministry for negligence towards its citizens.

It seems that the "Georgian Dream" government can not understand that their obligation is to protect the citizens of Georgia regardless of their political views, "- said Sergo Ratiani, a member of the parliamentary fraction of the " European Georgia ".

The leaders of the National Movement talk about the measures that the foreign ministry should undertake. According to them, the government of a democratic country should not distinguish its citizens on political grounds.
