The dwellers of the conflict zone asked Vladimer Gurgenidze to resolve the problems of fixing the roads and drinking water and in addition to that they mentioned the difficulties that they are facing with regard to fruit realization. The population living in the gorge told the prime minister that they had harvested large amounts of fruit but are hardly able to sell their product.
