Georgia welcomes the simplified visa system between Russia and Adjaria (Georgian autonomy bordering on Turkey) introduced on December 9th but as well expresses its dissatisfaction that this step was not coordinated with Georgian authorities. This was disclosed by Georgian Ambassador to Russia Zurab Abashidze. \"We understand Russia\'s intention to simplify entrance and exit for citizens living in Adjaria,\" the Ambassador said. The visa system between Russia and Georgia was introduced not upon the Georgian initiative, he recalled. \"Georgia always speaks for the gradual simplification of the visa regime, which creates numerous obstacles for citizens of the both countries,\" Abashidze stressed. \"However, changing the visa regime with one of the Georgian regions without having coordinated this issue with the Georgian authorities is a gross violation of the international regulations and non-observance of the elemental ethics of international relations,\" the Ambassador said.
