Stories Untold - Return of Georgian Migrants: Marina Okropirashvili

I first went to Greece in 2003 for one year, but I returned soon for health reasons. Later, I left for 3 years and came back again. I finally went there for 2 years. I was looking after an elderly lady in Greece. After returning home, the thing I wanted most was to start a business with my son. With the assistance of IOM, we opened a greengrocer’s in Kutaisi market. The first time I left Georgia was because there were no jobs. I used to work in a silk industrial complex in the past, but everything closed and I was left without a job.
