Belarus, at the insistence of the Russian authorities, may introduce a visa regime for Georgian citizens. According to Deputy Director of the Federal Migration Service Mikhail Tyurkin, the Russian and Belarusian authorities are now discussing this issue. According to FMS estimates, there are currently 300 thousand Georgian citizens in Russia. In the first six months of 2006, about a thousand of them were expelled. The deputy head of the FMS said that law-abiding citizens of Georgia have nothing to worry about: no sanctions will be taken against them.
