Public Defender appeals to the Patriarchate to be given the opportunity to exercise its mandate at the Ninotsminda boarding school

If the representatives of the Patriarchate want to meet with the Public Defender, we are not closed, we are open to talk to them, - Public Defender Nino Lomjaria told reporters in relation to the Ninotsminda boarding house.

According to her, children are under a lot of pressure.

"When we monitor institutions, the first thing we do is meet with the head or director of the relevant institution. Therefore, when we carry out this unplanned monitoring, I say again, I hope the new leadership will meet this very correctly. Of course, we will talk to them too. Also, if the representatives of the Patriarchate want to meet with the Public Defender, we are not closed, we are open to talk to them.

I meet representatives of all denominations and moreover, in this situation, there will be no problem on my part. Once again, I am addressing the Patriarchate on live TV to let the Public Defender, as a constitutional body and a body overseeing the protection of children's rights, exercise its mandate. I hope I get a positive answer to this.

It will be positive primarily for children. Children are under a lot of pressure, so give us the opportunity to do our work in a calm environment", - said Lomjaria.
