Russia denies reports of restoring diplomatic ties with Georgia
Reports that Russia and Georgia are engaged in restoring diplomatic relations are misinformation spread by opposition forces of Georgia, the Russian Foreign Ministry told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"We see no point in commenting on various hoaxes circulated by Georgian opposition resources," the ministry said.
Earlier, Georgian opposition TV channel Mtavari.tv reported citing sources that the Russian and Georgian governments are actively working on restoring diplomatic relations.
“The ruling party 'Georgian Dream' and Russia’s leadership are actively working and negotiating on reestablishment of diplomatic ties. The authorities plan to open Georgian embassy in Moscow,” the outlet said.
Georgia is already recruiting diplomats for the Russian embassy, the outlet added.
