After 140 days of isolation, Akhalgori residents are allowed to move to the territory controlled by the central government of Georgia.

Nugzar Tinikashvili, governor of Akhalgori Municipality, said that the so-called “checkpoint”, closed since September 5, had been opened today and ten residents of Akhalgori have already left the occupied territory.

“The representatives of the occupation regime use certain list of people and those, who receive their pension on the territory, controlled by the central government, are allowed to cross the occupation line,” Nugzar Tinikashvili said.

According to him, the pensioners are obliged to return to Akhalgori within 10 days.
