In order to discuss these integration processes, I am in Gardabani today, where the House of Justice was also opened and I met with the local population to hear their views, approaches, assessments, needs on how to achieve our goals. Direct communication with the population is very important for the Office of the State Minister, and we will certainly continue such meetings in regions populated by ethnic minorities”, - said Tea Akhvlediani.
