Ethnic Azerbaijanis living in Georgia appealed to the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, asking to open land borders so that people could visit each other.
The collection of signatures was initiated by Georgian human rights defender Samira Bayramova, who said that she saw with her own eyes people crying on the border of Azerbaijan who could not visit their relatives. Bayramova says that the Georgian diaspora in Azerbaijan also supported the call to Aliyev.
