The Georgian Foreign Ministry calls for the citizens to refrain from trips to Egypt, Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said at a weekly briefing.

She said that additional flights will be made to Egypt in case of necessity. Georgian citizens will be able to leave this country.

Kalandadze also noted that despite the events in Egypt, the Foreign Ministry does not consider it necessary to evacuate its citizens at this stage from that country. She said that they are in safety.

"There is a hotline in the ministry. The citizens can get information about events in Cairo and Georgian citizens in Egypt," Kalandadze said.

The manifestations with the requirements of conducting economic and political reforms and the resignation of 82-year old President Hosni Mubarak, ruling the country for 30 years, were launched in Egypt on January 25. On Friday, the mass protests continued in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. Roughly 100 people died, more than 2000 injured.
