Opening the meeting, the head of state noted that he had been planning a meeting with parliamentarians for a long time.

“Last week the Speaker of the Parliament called me and we agreed to meet on Wednesday. Taking into account the situation with the coronavirus, it was agreed that the meeting will be held in the conference room of the Cabinet of Ministers. Probably, some have a different opinion on this matter. You see what the situation is now. I am grateful to all those who came and did not come. My sympathies extend to the Parliament as a whole, ” Aslan Bzhania said.

The head of state spoke about the situation with the coronavirus in the country. He provided information what has been done against coronavirus since March 2020. Since that time, the state, including assistance from legal entities, has spent 770 million rubles.

Bzhania expressed his readiness to answer all the questions of interest of the parliamentarians.

Meanwhile, some deputies did not come to the meeting with president in the conference room of the Cabinet of Ministers. The deputies expressed bewilderment that the Cabinet of Ministers was chosen as the meeting place at the last moment, although earlier, it was stipulated that it would be held within the walls of parliament, since it was the deputies who invited the head of state to the meeting.
