Justice minister of Georgia Nika Gvaramia said representative of Russia's representative has distorted reality. "Today Russian representative said Inguri post is allegedly accessible for transportation and any citizen can come back to home without any restriction which is absolutely nonsense. He also said, for instance, Akalgori is controlled allegedly by the Georgia police. There were a lot of nonsense which can be checked up and see that Russia always tells a lie," he said.
