''We share the patriarchate's sentiment and reiterate that the dialogue we have never paused is important,'' Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Natia Turnava said.
In Turnava's words, the dialogue has no alternative, and the escalation of the situation is inadmissible as this does not fall within the country's national interests.
The Patriarchate of Georgia said on the Rioni developments today that the dialogue must be held, with the parties concerned, authorities, and specialists sharing their positions.
