If the Libyan air space is opened, Turkish airlines will carry out a special flight to Tripoli and evacuate Georgian citizens.

According to the Rustavi television company, only four Georgian citizens, including two women, are in Libya.
The Georgians are in the Tixo hotel, which is guarded by military units. The individuals worked in Libya under the instructions of a Turkish company.

According to Director of the Consular Department of the Georgian Foreign Ministry Giorgi Tabatadze, the Turkish side assumes responsibility for their evacuation.

Protests in the Libyan provinces demanding Gaddafi's resignation have been continuing since Feb. 15. Over 233 people have been killed and 4,000 have been injured.
