“Any individual who enters the occupied territory, is restricted the right to enter Georgia. Markov has been in Abkhazia and South Ossetia several times. Several weeks before the committee session, he has been in Abkhazia. This was a provocation. Also, I want to underline that except for Markov, visa was issued for every member of the delegation, but they refused to enter Georgian territory and declared boycott to the session of committee,” – stated Petre Tsiskarishvili.
Sergey Markov was supposed to attend the session of Committee of Legal Matters and Human Rights, but Georgian side refused to issue him a visa.
