Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili said he hoped the recently announced referendum for South Ossetia region to join Russia would “not have a continuation”.
Garibashvili said his Government should “always be mobilised” and have “close communication” with its international partners.
"I would like to express my hope that this [referendum] will certainly not have a continuation, but on the other hand, of course, we should not be complacent. We look at the developments of recent years. Of course, we must always be mobilised, [and] for this we need to communicate closely with our partners, to be in close coordination with them and to constantly exchange information," Garibashvili told the local press.
