History
In 2006, there was a deterioration in relations between states. The leadership of the Republic of Belarus accused a group of Georgian deputies of trying to organize a color revolution in order to overthrow Alexander Lukashenko. The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated in 2007 when meeting with Interior Minister of Georgia Ivane Merabishvili that "Belarus is determined to restore and boost relations with Georgia".
Recent tensions
On 28 September 2022 President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko visited Georgian breakaway territory Abkhazia and there he had meetings with de facto leader Aslan Bzhania and other senior officials. "I strongly condemn Aleksandr Lukashenka’s visit to occupied Abkhazia," President Salome Zourabichvili wrote on Twitter. "This is an unacceptable violation of Georgia’s Law on Occupied Territories and of the principles of our bilateral relations and international law." The Ministry called on Belarus to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and "not to take actions which contradict the fundamental principles of international law." In February 2023, Bzhania visited Minsk for a visit of his own, after which the Georgian Foreign Ministry described it as "an attempt to legitimize the Russian occupation regime." Lukashenko criticized Tbilisi's stance, saying to Bzhania “maybe these relations will be able to promote peace and friendship between Abkhazian and Georgian peoples.”

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
