TBILISI. - Georgian Constitution provisions that irrespective of their creed Georgian citizens have the right to register their religion as a subject of civil rights, said Georgian FM Grigol Vasadze to Russian Echo Moscowi radio station.

Asked why Georgian Parliament passed a bill which actually caused the resentment of Georgian Orthodox Church, Vasadze said that ensuring of constitutional rights of Georgian citizens is the obligation of Georgian government.

“When Georgian citizens, regardless of their confession, do not want to register their religion as a subject of civil law, that is their right. And our Constitution grants them that right. There is a clear-cut division, we have an agreement between Georgian government and Georgian Church, because Georgian Church holds special position,” said the FM.

Asked what caused the displeasure of the Church leadership in this case Vasadze replied that the position will change.

"After the meetings we held, after the conversations that we had, this discontent will decline sharply, you will see," he added.
