/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Russian Embassy in Georgia starts compiling
lists of the Russian citizens who wish to depart for the homeland,
the Embassy said.
"The Russian Embassy in Tbilisi informs that Russian citizens can
appeal to the Embassy to discuss their wish to return to the homeland,"
it said.
Russia has suspended transport communications with Georgia since
October 3. According to RF Federal Aeronautical Service Alexander
Neradko, the suspension is conditioned by Georgia’s $3.6 million
overdue debt and $176 thousand current debt. Presently Russian
citizens can return to Russia via third states – Azerbaijan, Armenia
and Ukraine, reported RIA Novosti.
To remind, the relations between the two states tensed after the
arrest of Russian officers accused of espionage and terrorism. On
Monday the Georgian authorities conveyed four Russian officers to
OSCE CiO Karel De Gucht. Meanwhile Russia has applied a number of
sanctions against Georgia.
