Wide shot of press conference STORYLINE: A delegation from the NATO Parliamentary Assembly visited Georgia's Pankisi Gorge on Monday. The delegation was there to assess the volatile situation in the area following Moscow's threats to pursue Chechen rebel fighters across the Russian-Georgian border. The town of Duisi and other villages in the heart of the gorge are inhabited by ethnic Chechens, who are Georgian citizens, along with a large number of Chechen refugees who fled fighting in the neighbouring province of Chechnya. President Vladimir Putin of Russia has accused Tbilisi of harbouring "Chechen terrorists", and threatened to spread his military campaign across the border. However, Georgian authorities have dismissed the accusations and have announced their own "anti-criminal operation" in the Pankisi Gorge.
