He pointed out that because of tensions in Georgian-Russian relations in the recent months, the social and economical condition of the Georgian population has become very grave. Russia's deporting of Georgian citizens' triggers additional problems. Taking into consideration all of the above-mentioned, the Azerbaijani Movement has appealed to the Russian President. In the appeal, they ask the Russian Government to solve the problem with Georgia through negotiation peacefully. Not by using a force.

And in this connection, we would like to ask you to solve this issue peacefully, the resolution underlines.
