About 300 inhabitants of Samtatskaro, a Georgian village at the border of Azerbaijan, intend to apply to Azeri president, Ilham Aliyev to provide them with asylum.

The difficulties during several years the inhabitants faced in crossing the Azeri-Georgian border to see their relatives in Azerbaijan served as a basis for such reaction of inhabitants, informed Trends correspondent in Georgia.

Meanwhile, Kakhetia authorities explain such overlapping, which hampers the transport means and foot passengers to cross over the bridge, as one of their measures taken against contraband.
