Restoration of diplomatic ties are not considered at this point - Zurab Abashidze
Restoration of diplomatic ties are not considered, but if there is significant progress with regard to the issues related to Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, these issues may be put on the agenda, - Prime Minister's Special Representative for Relations with Russia Zurab Abashidze said when commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin's interview, where Karasin said that Georgia is still not yet ready to restore diplomatic relations with Russia.
"Russia has simplified visa regime with Georgia earlier this year and the number of visas issued by them has increased significantly. We cannot force Russia to further simplify or remove the visa regime totally. It's up to them.
As for the diplomatic ties, they are not considered at this stage, but if there is significant progress with regard to the issues related to Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, these issues may be put on the agenda”, Abashidze said.
