July 12 (Interfax) - Members of the opposition parliamentary faction Alliance of Patriots of Georgia are heading to Moscow to meet with their Russian counterparts in order to facilitate mediation of Georgian-Russian relations, Georgian parliamentarian Giorgi Lomia, one of the members of the faction, said on Friday.
