Sergey Gavrilov calls restoring diplomatic relations with Georgia 'necessary'
Russian MP Sergey Gavrilov told a Russian media outlet that it is necessary to restore diplomatic relations with Georgia.
"Taking into account Georgia's independent position on the issue of Ukraine and the war-related sanctions launched against Russia, it is necessary to restore not only air traffic, but also full-fledged diplomatic relations between our countries. The presence of the embassy and consulate will contribute to the expansion of our contacts and opportunities to support our citizens living in Georgia," Gavrilov said.
According to him, the restoration of relations will contribute to the increase of trade and the development of tourism.
"The number of airlines, including those from friendly countries, that will carry out shipments between Russia and Georgia should increase," added the Duma deputy.
