More than 20 largest NGOs in Georgia demanded from the ruling Georgian Dream party and the government to introduce a visa regime for Russians. The newspaper writes about it “Kommersant”.
Georgian NGOs have become concerned over the latest statistics from the National Tourism Administration that show an influx of Russian travelers.
An official letter from NPO representatives states that in the first half of 2022, the number of Russians who arrived in Georgia has increased significantly. Also, after the start of the special operation, about 6.4 thousand Russian companies were registered in Georgia, which is seven times more than in the whole of 2021.
NGOs believe that the solution to this problem is “a matter of the country’s national security.” They said that the Russian Federation would be able to use the fact that a large number of its citizens were in the country as a “pretext for occupation.”
