Karasin doesn't rule out imposing visa-free travel for Georgians

Georgia’s Special Envoy to Russia, Zurab Abashidze, says that suspended diplomatic relations with Russia should not act as an obstacle for Georgina-Russian visa liberalization, Messenger.ge reports.

Abashidze says Russian citizens are allowed to enter Georgia without visas for a year, and it depends on Russia to further simplify or cancel visas for Georgians. 

Russian Deputy FM, Grigori Karasin, says he does not rule out imposing visa-free travel for Georgians, but added that the absence of diplomatic relations between the countries serves as an obstacle.
