Russia, Moscow, 12 August / Trend corr. R.Agayev / Holding of Russian citizens by Georgia is quite unacceptable, Boris Malakhov, deputy official representative of Russian Foreign Ministry, said in the news- conference in Moscow.
"We cannot exclude that Georgia will use Russian citizens as natural shield. The obstacles that the Georgian authorities create for Russian citizens to leave the country violate international rights," Malakhov said.
According to Malakhov, Russian citizens, who reside in Georgia, have addressed countless claims to the Russian Embassy to leave the country. Russia will never tolerate any danger against its citizens.
