DISINFO: Merkel plans to relocate 500,000 migrants to Georgia by the end of 2020

SUMMARY

It is planned to relocate 500,000 migrants to Georgia by the end of 2020. The Georgian government and the opposition have given their consent to it. The story is illustrated with a picture of Angela Merkel on the background of refugees.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about migrants being relocated to Georgia. Georgia has no commitment to accept migrants. No similar statements on accepting migrants have ever been made either by the Georgian government or by the opposition. Further debunking by Mythdetector.
