  • Tbilisi-Moscow, Moscow-Tbilisi flights not to be renewed in 2010

    Tbilisi-Moscow, Moscow -Tbilisi flights not to be renewed on New Year's eve
    26.12.2009 14:20 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Tbilisi-Moscow; Moscow -Tbilisi flights won't be
    renewed on New Year's eve.

    Georgian authorities, as well as Airzena airway company authorities
    never received Moscow's reply to their request on charter flights.
    These flights were viewed as a first step to full restoration of
    regular airway communication with Russia, which was interrupted in
    2006, after 4 Russian officers, accused of espionage, were arrested in
    Tbilisi and Batumi.

    Yet, the possible restoration of flights, despite current differences
    between Tbilisi and Moscow, was first commented on by Russian
    president Dmitri Medvedev. At media forum, the Russian leader noted
    that he sees no special problems for flights' re-launch. Georgian
    president replied through his spokesman that he did not mind,
    reminding though that Russian authorities were the initiators of
    transport communication cessation.

    According to the source in the Georgian government, initially Tbilisi
    did not believe in the possibility of flights renewal. They addressed
    a formal request to Moscow to once again demonstrate their readiness
    to collaboration renewal, and confirm that Russian authorities are not
    ready for it, Radio Svoboda reported.
