"In July-August, 2014, staying legally on the territory of the Chechen Republic, Tsintsalashvili repeatedly met with two local residents in different places of the city of Grozny," the statement said.
"[Tsintsalashvili] also invited them to go to the Syrian Arab Republic to join an illegal armed formation, and to participate in the war, aimed at overthrowing the republic's legitimate authorities, as well as at creating a religious and extremist state," the statement added.
Beslan Tsintsalashvili will be charged with "inciting to engage in terrorist activity," which is punished with up to ten years in prison.
In March 2011, peaceful protests began in Syria, which later evolved into all-out fighting between government forces, rebels and jihadists, some of them linked to al-Qaeda.
Over 16,000 foreign fighters from around 90 countries have been fighting in Syrian conflict since 2012, according to the US Department of State's estimates published on December 3.
