Amid talks with the EU in Brussels, Georgia has compared Moscow’s treatment of ethnic Georgians to Nazi German actions against the Jews. “Russia shows absolutely unacceptable behaviour, pursuing a kind of ethnic cleansing policy, exercising xenophobic rhetoric and their deeds very much look like the Nazi Germany time in 1930,” Georgian Secretary of State for Euro-Atlantic Integration Giorgi Baramidze told a news conference.

He added however that Tbilisi was ready for dialogue on normalising ties. Several hundred Georgians living in Russia have been deemed illegal immigrants and deported amid a stand-off sparked by the brief detention in Georgia of four Russian servicemen on suspicion of espionage.
