Today President Mikheil Saakashvili met with the participants of the festival "Chveneburebi" (a festival for bringing together the Georgians all over the world) held in Georgia on October 1-7.
The President in his address talked about those Georgians who are now leaving abroad stressing that the reason the Georgia government made a decision to grant dual citizenship was to return those Georgians who are leaving abroad to Georgia.

Now we are doing everything to create exactly this type of state," President Saakashvili said.
