SENATORS EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR KRASNODAR KRAI AUTHORITIES. Also on 10
July, members of the upper chamber adopted a special resolution on the
migration situation in Krasnodar Krai, Interfax reported. According to
the agency, the resolution notes the large number of foreign citizens
and persons without citizenship in the krai and laments the
"unjustified delay in repatriating [Meskhetians], who are living
temporarily in the Russian Federation, back to Georgia." The members
also called on the government to adopt this fall a draft law on state
regulation of migration to the Russian Federation that would establish
quotas limiting the number of migrants in regions and create the
possibility of a temporary resettlement of separate categories of
citizens, foreigners, and persons without citizenship out of regions
plagued by conflict. A group of Meskhetians in the krai recently ended
a hunger strike in protest of their status in the region. Given a
choice, at least some of them would prefer to emigrate to Turkey,
rather than settle in Georgia. ("RFE/RL Newsline," 11 July)
