The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia calls on public, civil groups to allow the Georgia-Azerbaijan state border delimitation Commissions to continue their work in a calm atmosphere.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a minor incident took place between the local and Azerbaijani border guards on the Davit Gareji section of the Georgia-Azerbaijan border. However, the tension has been defused on time and the situation on the ground remains calm.

In addition, according to the MIA, the study into the incident is currently underway.

“We argue public, civil groups to allow the Georgia-Azerbaijan state border delimitation Commissions to continue their work in a calm atmosphere in order to reach agreement on time”, – it was said at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The video was spread on the social network, which tells about an incident that took place between border guards and locals at the border area in Davit Gareji. According to the guide, who works at the site, the cause of the conflict was the fact that Azerbaijani border guards took icons from the church without permission. This caused a protest of the locals. However, as he notes, the issue was soon resolved.
