Elgudja Khodeli: 1000 signatures collected to close Museum of Soviet Occupation in Tbilisi

The NGO "Earth is Our Home" collected 1000 signatures to close the Museum of Soviet Occupation in Georgia. This was reported by Elgudja Khodeli, the leader of the NGO.

The NGO activists intend to pass signatures for closing the museum, collected during the questioning, and the claim to the Ministry of Culture of Georgia.

"We are going to file to the Ministry of Culture a claim, demanding to close the Museum of Soviet Occupation. We will wait for the result, so, we temporarily stop picketing. If the decision of the Ministry of Culture is negative, we will hold rallies in front of the Ministry itself," Elgudja Khodeli has summed up.

In Tbilisi, supporters of preservation of the Museum also hold their actions.
