Further signs of warming of Georgian-Iranian relationship

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF version

In another sign of the imporving relationship between Georgia and Iran, both countries have agreed to waive visa requirements on each other's nationals, reports Tehran's official Fars news agency, quoting vice-president Mohammad Reza Rahimi.

In January Georgia denied reports that foreign minister Grigol Vashadze had apologised in Iran for the assisting with the arrest and extradition of Iranian arms-dealer Amir-Hossein Ardebili. But the foreign minister's visit also marked a clear drawing together of the countries - a process that began with the Iranian's opposition to Russia's actions in the August war of 2008.

This weekend also saw a notable worsening of Iranian - Russian relations, with the Islamic Republic ordering Russian pilots to leave the country.
