The 2018 presidential elections in the villages adjacent to the occupational line are being held in a peaceful environment.
As a journalist of First Channel reports, Data Vanishvili, the 80-year-old local of Khurvaleti village living on the occupied side, managed to vote on the territory controlled by the Georgian side.
Vanishvili said that he had been warned by the Russian soldiers about not crossing the so-called border, but he still decided to participate in the elections.
“This is my country and I crossed the barbed wires to vote. I cut my hand. When I arrived at the polling station, I discovered that I have forgotten my ID card. I went back and asked my wife to hand me the document from the wires. I voted for no barbed wires in my country so that I could cultivate my land freely. I am tired of living alone,” Vanishvili said.
