“I think that relations will gradually be restored, this is unlikely to happen under the current leadership of Georgia,” said Slutsky in an interview with RT.
The deputy also called the incident with State Duma deputy Sergei Gavrilov a calculated provocation that runs counter to the old norms of Georgian hospitality.
"Very sorry. Relations are difficult, but, nevertheless, it is not necessary to aggravate them, and bit by bit, despite all these incidents, gnaw out good, gnaw good, ”he said.
On June 20, protests began in Tbilisi. This happened after the Georgian opposition and the radicals disrupted a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy due to the fact that Gavrilov, who heads this organization, sat in the chair of the head of the legislative body during the event.
