Georgia, Tbilisi, March 30 / Trend N.Kirtzkhalia /

Companies that will carry out flights in the direction of Sukhumi will be included into the "black list" and all countries will refrain from relations with them, Georgia's Unified Transport Administration Head Levan Chichinadze said at a joint meeting of the Interim Committee for the restoration of territorial integrity and the Parliamentary Foreign Relations Committee.

The meeting was devoted to discussion of measures taken by Georgia in connection with the agreement signed between Russia and Abkhazia on cooperation in the air transport and the illegality of the steps taken by Russia in this direction.

Chichinadze said the companies will also be included into the "black list" when they will carry out flies to the territory declared a closed zone by the state. Although the International Organization ICAO does not provides specific sanctions against those companies, in terms of air safety all countries will refuse from dealing with such companies.

In the case of resumption of flights in the direction of Sukhumi, Georgia will use this fact.
