The Georgian parliament is going to ask the Georgian Foreign Ministry to draw up a so-called black list of Russian politicians who will be prohibited from entering Georgian territory. Work on drawing up such a list has already begun and it will be completed soon, Georgian Parliamentary Deputy Giga Bokeriya told journalists on Thursday. The parliament has not yet disclosed the names of the Russian politicians who may be included in the black list: however, they are likely to be Russian politicians who constantly visit Abkhazia and South Ossetia disregarding Georgian protests and without reviewing such trips with the Georgian authorities.The Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst is a biweekly publication of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program, a Joint Transatlantic Research and Policy Center affiliated with the American Foreign Policy Council, Washington DC., and the Institute for Security and Development Policy, Stockholm.
