Georgia to restore diplomatic relations with Russia upon its terms: state minister

Georgia, Tbilisi, July 8 / Trend N. Kirtskhalia /

Georgia will agree to restore diplomatic relations with Russia if it keeps only one diplomatic representation in Georgia. Presently, Russia has three embassies in Georgia, state minister for reintegration Temur Yakobashvili told media.

"If this number reaches one, nothing will hamper launching of talks," he said.
