The businessman said he had informed the Georgian authorities of Berezovsky\'s planned visit to Tbilisi in advance. \"Georgia has been guided by the Geneva Convention, which it has signed. And there are no grounds to call into question the legitimacy of the documents which the authorities of Great Britain have issued to Berezovsky as a political refugee,\" he said. Berezovsky and his wife arrived in Tbilisi on April 2 at Patarkatsishvili\'s invitation. Their visit lasted for 14 hours. (Interfax)
