This is only part of the lies being spread,” Kaladze said. Against this backdrop, Georgia’s State Security Service has launched an investigation under the article on sabotage over an information campaign targeting Russian tourists. The ruling Georgian Dream party has said the Georgian government would take all necessary measures to ensure the comfort and safety of all tourists.
