TBILISI (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th June, 2023) Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has called on Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili to convene a Security Council meeting to consider tightening controls on the Georgian-Russian border and revising the visa regime for Russian citizens in light of events in Russia.

"I call on the prime minister to convene the Security Council immediately. I believe that today it is important to consider in this format several important issues that do not tolerate time.
