Color transparency (CT) phenomenon is known as a suppression of the interaction of small color singlet q q or qqq configurations with nucleons. The CT is expected when the quark configuration was created in a large momentum transfer process. Apart from being of interest by itself as a genuine QCD effect, the observation of CT in the processes with nuclear targets is a necessary condition for the corresponding elementary process to be describable within the factorization technique. In this talk we consider the possible CT effect in the semiexclusive A(π−,l+ l−) process at plab=15−20 GeV/c at small |t| and large invariant mass of the dilepton pair l+ l− [1]. Based on the size of the pionic q q configuration extracted from the semiexclusive A(e,e′π+) process measured at JLab, we predict very significant CT effects in A(π−,l+ l−) reaction. The observation of these CT effects would provide an additional confidence on the possibility to extract the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon from the elementary reaction π− p → l+ l− n at similar kinematics.
