D. Sergeenko dwelt on the steps taken for the improvement of the healthcare, social policy, minorities and rights of children situation and emphasized the legal state of the Georgian citizens residing on the occupied territories.

“The guests were interested in the recent steps in the human rights direction, as well as the healthcare, social policy spheres and rights of minorities and children. During the consideration, we outlined negative phenomena such as violence against women. The OSCE PA representatives expressed their interest in the legal state of the Georgian citizens residing in the occupied regions. Tomorrow, we schedule the visit of the Delegation to the conflict-affected region and I think their interest and commitment to cooperating is of utmost importance”, - D. Sergeenko noted.
