TBILISI, May 25 (RIA Novosti) - A crew of leading Russian channel NTV was barred from entering Georgia Thursday, NTV said.

Journalist Vadim Fefilov and his cameraman, who intended to make a report about Georgia's Independence Day on May 26, were denied entry visas at the airport of Tbilisi and advised to leave Georgia as soon as possible.

"I consider this a violation of human and journalists' rights," NTV correspondent in Georgia Nugzar Kereselidze said.

The Georgian Foreign and Interior Ministries refused to comment on the incident.
