RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN TBILISI STOPS ISSUING VISAS TO GEORGIANS
By empty (2/21/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The Russian embassy in Tbilisi has stopped issuing visas to Georgians on February 21 in response to Georgia\'s denial to issue visas to Russian soldiers. \"The consular department of the Russian embassy in Georgia ceases issuing visas to Georgians, except for humanitarian cases, on February 21,\" a statement by the Russian embassy says. \"This measure was prompted by the fact that, despite agreements reached in the withdrawal of Russian military bases and facilities from Georgia that also provide for the rotation of soldiers, in the last year, Georgia has been dragging its feet in issuing visas to servicemen of the Group of Russian Troops in Transcaucasia and it has also not been prolonging visas to soldiers and officers that are in the country,\" the statement says.Visit also
