Radio Farda:

The Interior Ministry of Georgia says it has denied 6,400 foreigners, half of them Iranians, entry visa in the first quarter of 2019.

Based on the ministry's report, 3000 Iranians were denied entry visa from January to April.

In the past, regional countries welcomed Iranian tourists, who prefer cheaper holidays in countries with no restrictions, such as a dress code or ban on alcohol, which they experience in their own country.

But deteriorating economic conditions in Iran lead to migration attempts using countries with no visa requirement or easier rules.
