Refugees from Chechnya VS UNHCR
Chechen refugees sheltering in Pankisi Gorge blame the UN
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in their discrimination on
ethnic grounds. According to the refugees, the UNHCR promised each
family to allocate 8-10 thousand USD if they naturalize in Georgia.
After this offer, the Chechen refugees declined the refugee status and
obtained the citizenship of Georgia; however, the UNHCR did not keep
their promises.

(displaced as a result of the war in August of 2008) and 210 so-called
old IDPs (displaced during the armed conflicts in 1990s). Although more
than one and half year has passed since the August war, the IDPs living
in this building have not received an IDP status and single money
