The road to the Davit Gareji monastery, which was closed by the Azeri border guards, has been opened. As archimandrite Kiril told InterPressNews, pilgrims, local residents and tourists can freely move to the monastery at this time.

The Azeri border guards had closed the road and had not been letting clergymen in the monastery for three days.

Georgian Foreign Minister Davit Zalkaliani said at the end of the day yesterday that the Azerbaijani authorities decided to open the closed areas.
