According to Nicole, this past September and with only two days remaining before her departure to Georgia, TLG had still not provided her with plane tickets. Nicole was worried about this situation. Accordingly, she posted her concerns on her Facebook status which read: “Whatever happened to professionalism, common courtesy, promptness and consideration?” We cannot quote the status exactly as she was made to remove it only a few hours after posting it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About an hour after posting this status, Nicole was contacted by Larisa Schirba from Footprints Recruiting (one of TLG’s partner recruiting organizations based in Vancouver, British Columbia) who told her that TLG was going to review her application and that she should apologize to TLG and be careful because of cultural differences. Nicole did so. She sent an e-mail to David Chigolashvili from TLG and apologized for the status posted on her Facebook page.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicole’s apology relieved the situation and she was given the opportunity to continue participation in the program. However, Nicole’s problems persisted while living in Georgia. When Nicole voiced her concerns about racist and derogatory comments made to her by a few 10th grade students (Nicole called them “rude” and “disgusting”), she was again asked to remove her comments from her Facebook status.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Nicole, a TLG official called and asked her to remove this status as it could upset the parents of these children. Nicole was again forced to obey TLG’s request and removed the status. After being censored a second time Nicole decided she had become tired of being monitored and so she grouped all the TLG staff members and then blocked them from seeing her Facebook wall.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On December 24th, Nicole left Georgia for Christmas vacation. On January 21st she flew from Nassau to London to connect at Heathrow for her flight back to Tbilisi. Before dropping off her luggage she checked her email and found the following e-mail from TLG:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Dear Nicole,</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This letter is in reference to your Employment Agreement that was signed between you and the Legal Entity of Public Law – National Center for Teacher Professional Development. We would like to inform you that your Employment Agreement with TLG is terminated according to the Article 8, Paragraph 8.3.3: “Employee’s behavior is inappropriate for the “Teach and Learn with Georgia” Program throughout the entire Agreement term”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our decision was conditioned due to your numerous derogatory and offensive comments made on Facebook about TLG. It is not reasonable for the project to keep the volunteer who offends the TLG and embarrasses it publicly. We consider that you cannot meet our goals with such attitude and our Employment relationships shall be terminated urgently. We cannot entrust the future of our school children to the teacher who is offending their country and people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is not your first time expressing the offensive attitude towards the project. In the beginning of the programme TLG gave you a chance and time in order to abide with the local traditions and lifestyle and that was the reason why your contract was not terminated right after the first precedent of the offence expressed from you towards TLG.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please be informed that your Employment Agreement is terminated from 21th of January 2011 and your flight to Georgia is also cancelled. You are requested to hand in any property of TLG entrusted to you for performing your tasks and discuss any dues owed to you by TLG. Please let TLG know if you left luggage with your former host family in order for us to arrange sending it to you mailing address to our earliest convenience.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicole responded to the letter asking TLG to clarify what they meant when they said she made “derogatory and offensive” comments towards the project. However, she never received an answer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Nicole, she had only made observations on the functional capabilities of TLG, but never expressed herself in a derogatory or offensive manner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, Nicole states that her Facebook was only viewable to her friends and family that were on her list. Outsiders were not able to access her information as she made her privacy settings air tight and her Facebook wall was blocked for all TLG staff members and students. Thus she wanted her internet privacy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicole considers her dismissal unethical and unlawful and believes her freedom of speech was violated.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Human Rights Center contacted the legal advisor of the TLG program Tamar Mamporia and asked her to comment on this issue.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tamar Mamporia stated: “We cannot give you information on this issue. Our organization cleared up things with Nicole. Nicole is a problematic person and that is why she left the project. We do not dismiss anyone unjustly. Our last alternative is dismissal. It was her fault to leave the program. I cannot tell you anything more. As for the freedom of expression, it exists unless it infringes the rights of others. We never violated her rights.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On our question, how exactly Nicole “infringed rights of others,” Tamar Mamporia stated: “I will restrain from talking about the details. I cannot tell you more.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">See Nicole Bedford’s blog: <b><a href="http://infinitedreamernicole.blogspot.com/">http://infinitedreamernicole.blogspot.com/</a></b></div>humanrights<br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://boqlomi.blogspot.com/2011/04/blog-post_05.html"><b>georgian</b></a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><a href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-9910617209138398152011-04-10T17:36:00.000-07:002011-04-10T17:40:20.311-07:00Protest Rally in front of Supreme Court Disbanded, Activists Arrested<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>The protest rally “I am a prisoner!” held on April 4th in front of the Supreme Court ended with the incident.

The protestors hung the mourning coronet at the door of Supreme Court building with the message: “mourning for justice.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The law-enforcement officials also detained one of the organizers of the protest rally, the deputy of the Supreme Council of Abkhazia Ada Marshania and the member of Georgian Party Ketino Goginashvili.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Lasha Chkhartishvili, the head of human rights defense area of Conservative Party, Ketino Goginashvili is a sister of political prisoner Shalva Goginashvili.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The detainees were transferred to the preliminary detention cell. The court discussed the possible administrative sentence at night, as usual.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The court process started at 00.00 am in Tbilisi City Court. The judge Koba Gotsiridze discussed the case.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Following individuals were brought before the court: the deputy of Abkhazia Supreme Council Ada Marshania, the member of Resistance Movement Shota Glurjidze, members of Georgian Party Ketevan Goginashvili and Tengiz Ghlonti, the representatives of Civil Movement of IDPs Genadi Kekelia and Irakli Tsikolia, also the member of Free Democrats Gocha Chkhaidze and other participants of the protest rally – Madona Gogua, Davit Kochiev and Grigol Kharebava, the brother of Zviad Kharebava, former assistant of ex-Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wife of Grigol Kharebava, Nana Nachkebia stated with the Human Rights Center that her husband has not committed any wrongdoings at the protest rally: “He was detained for no reason. We have the photos taken at the protest rally where it is obvious that Grigol Kharebava has not committed any wrongdoings. I know my husband and I know what he can do. He would not have thrown eggs to the Court building, neither would he have committed other wrongdoins,” – states Nana Nachkebia, spouse of Grigol Kharebava.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to one of the organizers of the protest rally, the head of media union Objective Irma Inashvili, the protest rally was authorized and they had not committed any wrongdoings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The first part of the protest rally was held in front of Rustaveli where more than 2 thousand people gathered. Then we moved to the Supreme Court. Small informative action was held in front of the court. When it was over and the young people put the mourning coronet at the door of the court building, patrol police started acting which was mobilized at the office of TV Company Alania. Then the patrol police officials were assuring that the population residing nearby protested about the action. This is a lie. People had not expressed any protest. On the contrary, they joined the mood of the protestors. The protestors expressed themselves in a peaceful way. As for the fact of throwing eggs to the building of the Ministry, let us recall that in 2010 142 prisoners have been killed in the prisons! On this light, can we talk about whether or not the parents of the killed prisoners threw eggs at the court building?! On the light of this statistics, can we talk about throwing eggs?!” – stated Irma Inashvili while talking with Human Rights Center.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The members of the Resistance Movement and the leaders of the opposition gathered in front of the court: Nino Burjanadze, Irakli Batiashvili, Bidzina Gegidze, Lasha Chkhartishvili, the singer Giorgi Gachehiladze and others…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Resistance Movement thinks that the arrest of protestors at the Supreme Court building was a challenge from the government. The special statement of the movement states the corresponding.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We, the members of the Resistance Movement will not yield any our requests and will continue our protest rallies which will be joined by more and more people. The persecution and arrest of peaceful protestors is a challenge from the government that we accepted. We will not surrender! We will fight until we win,” – reads the statement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to them, the protest rally in front of the Supreme Court was peaceful, but the patrol police made a siege and tried to intentionally arrest the participants.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“When the national channels systematically cover the protest rallies happening in other countries the participants of which destroy the windows, burn and explode buildings and physically fight against police, Georgian law-enforcement bodies try to openly provoke the peaceful protestors and arrest them afterwards,” – states the Resistance Movement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tbilisi City Court imposed administrative arrest against four detainees and fined six.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The representative of Civil Movement of IDPs Genadi Kekelia was imposed with 25-day arrest, another member of the movement Irakli Tsikolia – 20-day arrest. Grigol Kharebava and the representative of Georgian Party Davit Kochiev were imposed with 20-day arrest.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ada Marshania, the deputy of Abkhazia Supreme Council, Shota Glurjidze, the member of the Resistance Movement, Ketevan Goginashvili and Tengiz Ghlonti from the Georgian Party, the activist of Free Democrats Gocha Ckhaidze and one more participant of the protest rally, Madona Gogua were imposed with 400 GEL fine.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the lawyer of Gocha Ckhaidze Shalva Shavgulidze stated to interpressnews, the process in the Tbilisi City Court ended at the dawn at 4:00 am. According to him, the judge refused to examine the video material and relied only on the testimonies of the policemen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the organizers of the action Lasha Chkhartishvili states that the video recording clearly shows how several individuals were detained by the police quite afar from the action: “We presented the request to the Court to check the video recording of the external surveillance of the pawnshop located near the place of the protest rally. Our request was not rendered. This video recording clearly shows i.e how Ada Marshania was detained for approximately a kilometer and a half afar near the Cinema House. Also, three more participants of the protest rally were detained at Rustaveli, near the store Garderobi and not directly at the protest rally as the law-enforcement officials assure. This would have been clearly reflected on the video recording of the external surveillance of the camera. However, the court did not render our request,” – stated Lasha Ckhartishvili to Human Rights Center.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The detainees were found guilty in the administrative wrongdoing, namely small hooliganism and disobedience to the requests of the policemen.</div>interpressnews<br /><a href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-68255686958982107432011-02-19T02:27:00.000-08:002011-02-19T02:35:15.724-08:00Defying Sexual Mores in Conservative Georgia<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>IT is not steady work being a professional sex kitten in Georgia.

Few subjects highlight these crosscurrents as starkly as sex, and a generation of young Georgians is caught in between, said Ms. Begashvili, 28.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“They don’t understand — are they allowed to do it, or not?” said Ms. Begashvili, a husky-voiced actress who manages, like Marilyn Monroe before her, to be simultaneously knowing and daffy. “They can’t get an answer from anyone. If they ask their mother, their mother will say no, not until you are married. So they have no idea what to do.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the days when amorous men routinely kidnapped their brides, families in the Caucasus have been characterized by what sociologists politely refer to as “gender asymmetry.” Women were expected to remain virgins until marriage — the groom’s mother checked the sheets — while men enjoyed exuberant sexual freedom, typically continuing after they were married.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BGGjIvDLr8"><b>These customs persist </b></a>to a surprising extent. Young men in search of sexual experience are taken by older relatives to prostitutes, and there is a healthy market for hymen reconstruction, known euphemistically as “jewelry work.” In a survey of 3,000 college students from across Georgia conducted last year by the Institute of Social Studies and Analysis, 91.4 percent of men said they had had sex at least once; the number for women was only 15.1 percent.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But the traditions are being questioned, especially in a capital city that is emphatically tilting West. Television, influenced by the government, gently pushes cultural norms in a liberal direction; the new season of a “Friends”-inspired sitcom has added an unmarried couple living together, for instance. Documentaries examine the “institution of virginity” with anthropological neutrality, and a young American unleashed a flood of commentary with a frank blog posting about Georgian sexual mores. (It warned of “an army of uncles and cousins who will wish to do you harm.”)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">MS. Begashvili is one of the few public figures to have tried a full-on assault on virginity, though she notes that her scripts were prepared for her.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She marshaled her arguments during a broadcast of “Night With Shorena” in January 2010, when, dressed in a deep violet, bosom-promoting pantsuit, she said on her show that it was “scientifically proven” that couples who married without first having sex were more likely to divorce. She made the case that Georgian women had never been particularly chaste, citing a historian who said that when the Persian shahs were replenishing their harems, they had to use different rules for Georgian women, “probably because it was difficult to find virgins.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At that point, conservative activists began picketing the station. In a formal complaint, the Union of Orthodox Parents denounced the “Shorenization of society,” declaring that “virginity has served as our moral compass before the Mongol invasion and thereafter.” A few months later, the show was off the air; its producers cited “unprofitability,” but broken taboos lurked in the background.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Iago Kachkachishvili, who heads the sociology department at Tbilisi State University, said the show seemed more aimed at attracting viewers than setting off a sexual revolution. After it was canceled, Georgian society returned to its default mode on the matter: Silence. He calls the gender imbalance “a typical Oriental mentality,” evidence that the cultural upheaval that swept the West in the 1960s and 1970s never made it as far as Georgia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s terrible for women,” Mr. Kachkachishvili said. “You can really find women not having sex in their lives at all. Not even one time. They die, sometimes, without having had sex.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ms. Begashvili has her own opinion about virginity. She was a 16-year-old virgin when she married her boyfriend — mainly, she says in retrospect, because she wanted to have sex.

But on March 27, 1999, during NATO's aerial bombing of Serbia in the Kosovo war, a Serbian anti-aircraft missile shot one of the Nighthawks down. The pilot ejected and was rescued.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was the first time one of the much-touted "invisible" fighters had ever been hit. The Pentagon believed a combination of clever tactics and sheer luck had allowed a Soviet-built SA-3 missile to bring down the jet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wreckage was strewn over a wide area of flat farmlands, and civilians collected the parts — some the size of small cars — as souvenirs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"At the time, our intelligence reports told of Chinese agents crisscrossing the region where the F-117 disintegrated, buying up parts of the plane from local farmers," says Adm. Davor Domazet-Loso, Croatia's military chief of staff during the Kosovo war.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We believe the Chinese used those materials to gain an insight into secret stealth technologies ... and to reverse-engineer them," Domazet-Loso said in a telephone interview.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A senior Serbian military official confirmed that pieces of the wreckage were removed by souvenir collectors, and that some ended up "in the hands of foreign military attaches."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Efforts to get comment from China's defense ministry and the Pentagon were unsuccessful.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">China's multi-role stealth fighter — known as the Chengdu J-20 — made its inaugural flight Jan. 11, revealing dramatic progress in the country's efforts to develop cutting-edge military technologies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although the twin-engine J-20 is at least eight or nine years from entering air force inventory, it could become a rival to America's top-of-the-line F-22 Raptor, the successor to the Nighthawk and the only stealth fighter currently in service.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">China rolled out the J-20 just days before a visit to Beijing by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, leading some analysts to speculate that the timing was intended to demonstrate the growing might of China's armed forces.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite Chinese President Hu Jintao's high-profile visit to the United States this week, many in Washington see China as an economic threat to the U.S. and worry as well about Beijing's military might.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Parts of the downed F-117 wreckage — such as the left wing with US Air Force insignia, the cockpit canopy, ejection seat, pilot's helmet and radio — are exhibited at Belgrade's aviation museum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I don't know what happened to the rest of the plane," said Zoran Milicevic, deputy director of the museum. "A lot of delegations visited us in the past, including the Chinese, Russians and Americans ... but no one showed any interest in taking any part of the jet."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Zoran Kusovac, a Rome-based military consultant, said the regime of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic routinely shared captured Western equipment with its Chinese and Russian allies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"The destroyed F-117 topped that wish-list for both the Russians and Chinese," Kusovac said.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Russia's Sukhoi T-50 prototype stealth fighter made its maiden flight last year and is due to enter service in about four years. It is likely that the Russians also gleaned knowledge of stealth technology from the downed Nighthawk.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The F-117, developed in great secrecy in the 1970s, began service in 1983.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While not completely invisible to radar, its shape and radar-absorbent coating made detection extremely difficult. The radar cross-section was further reduced because the wings' leading and trailing edges were composed of nonmetallic honeycomb structures that do not reflect radar rays.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kusovac said insight into this critical technology, and particularly the plane's secret radiation-absorbent exterior coating, would have significantly enhanced China's stealth know-how.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Alexander Huang of Taipei's Tamkang University said the J-20 represented a major step forward for China. He described Domazet-Loso's claim as "a logical assessment."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"There is no other stronger source for the origin of the J-20's stealthy technology," said Huang, an expert on China's air force. "The argument the Croatian chief-of-staff makes is legitimate and cannot be ruled out."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Chinese are well-known perpetrators of industrial espionage in Western Europe and the United States, where the administration has also been increasingly aggressive in prosecuting cases of Chinese espionage.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Western diplomats have said China maintained an intelligence post in its Belgrade embassy during the Kosovo war. The building was mistakenly struck by U.S. bombers that May, killing three people inside.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"What that means is that the Serbs and Chinese would have been sharing their intelligence," said Alexander Neill, head of the Asia security program at the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank in London. "It's very likely that they shared the technology they recovered from the F-117, and it's very plausible that elements of the F-117 got to China."</div><div style="text-align: justify;">___</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Stojanovic reported from Belgrade.

As the media expert Ia Antadze told “Interpressnews”, she did not notice any exception in the President’s last speech. In her words, the same manner of speech is characteristic to the President while speaking about opponents. “This is a terminology which is characteristic to him occasionally, especially when he speaks about political opponents. It was emotionally more painful for me when I saw the reaction of the youth who listened him with quite agreeable expression and smiled at his words.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We, older generation, must be more exacting towards the President’s such statements in order to show our youth that this is absolutely unacceptable and our country will not prosper as a democratic state”, - says Antadze</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the media expert Zviad Koridze says, the President’s manner of speech does not bear any criticism any more. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“During the six presidential years, Saakashvili could not find healthy and optimal way of speech with which he must address to the society. This is not the first case, when the President speaks in a manner no one speaks like in a street. But there is another problem too. He does not speak in a former party nomenclator’s language. He is striving to disrupt an old language, but he is using a language that is absolutely inadequate to the way of speaking the President must use”, - notes Koridze. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The psychologists call the President’s statements made yesterday “insulting and discriminative”. As the psychologist Lela Gaprindashvili noted while talking with “Interpressnews”, making references towards his opponents by using such terminology is inadmissible. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Speeches of people having rather inferior responsibilities are more feasible than of the President’s ones – this is a paradoxe. One should not argue with political opponents using insulting words. You may not agree or have your own arguments, but it is not simply serious to think you are a winner by abusing your opponent”. - noted Gaprindashvili. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We’d like to remind you the fact when the President Saakashvili had the meeting with the students of “Free University”, he called one of his opponents moron owing to the opposite opinion regarding to learning English, but he named Kakha Kukava as an example of Georgian democracy who woke up with a hangover. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saakashvili calls for opponents to realize that “ independence and democracy are not only pluralism or freedom of idea communication, but also a big responsibility”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As he said while meeting with the students, different from political opponents, freedom is a great responsibility for him first, and not only the fact that every TV abuses the government all day and night. The test of freedom existence or non-existence in the country nowadays is rather simple for me. For example, when someone even Kakha Kukava wakes up with a hangover in the morning and it occurs to him to share his own ideas with all Georgia at 3 in the afternoon, Kukava does have such a chance in today’s media system. This is the test of democracy for him. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saakashvili talks again about necessity of knowing English language and he sharply criticizes the movers who made the statements against the tendency:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“This is not my obsession or stubbornness that you should know a foreign language. This is a method that helps people to achieve something in their life; One moron said on one channel some days ago that the Georgians had not needed to learn English for three thousand years and what the use was to learn it then”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the President’s statement, the Georgians have always been curous people. He gave “the Knight in the Panther’s Skin” as an example, and he called it the micro model of the universe and noted that all the universe is described in it: When you live in a small country and want to succeed and fight to survive, it is impossible you are unaware of what happens in other world”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The anti English idea belongs to one of the leaders of “National Forum” Gubaz Sanikidze, who speaks about it everywhere – on TV channels, press and while meeting with the population. Sanikidze thinks that in Georgia, the process of “Singapurization” is under way that aims at adoption of another state language, mainly – English language.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“What’s the use of knowing English for us? Why is English persisted in? Nobody speaks in English in our neighborhood. Some dimwit “Mishist” can say that we are stepping into Europe. First, Europe strongly locked its door against us and on the other hand–German and French languages are main languages in Europe nowadays”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Someone may say that English is needed for tourism development. We can never be superior to Italy and Spain in tourism sphere, but go to Spain and Italy and you will see if anybody needs knowing English. We need it because the Boers, the Chinese and the Indians will arrive here and have to speak English with them”, - said Sanikidze in the interview granted to the press.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">An ideological secretary of the “National Forum” does nor rule out that in case of continuing such policy, Georgian language will become only a religious language after one generation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Kakha Kukava threats Saakashvili by starting legal proceedings in the court. The member of assembly hall group “Dedakalaki” gave the President one week time limit for presenting the allegation according which November 7, 2007 action was organized by the generals of FSB and Badri Patarkatsishvili. Kukava spoke about it yesterday’s briefing hold Tbilisi Assembly Hall. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Kukava’s evaluation, the President offended Georgian society by the statement he made yesterday. “I give Mikheil Saakashvili one week term to confirm the fact of involvement of the generals of FSB and Badri Patarkatsishvili in organizing November 7, 2007 action and to present the relevant allegations to Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia and Georgian society. Otherwise, we will take unprecedented collective appeal to the court”, - said Kukava and added that the appeal would be taken to the court with 10 thousand peoples’ signature who took part in November 7, 2007 action. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We want to remind you that Saakashvili while visiting “Free University” also stated that November 7, 2007 action was organized by the generals of FSB and Badri Patarkatsishvili. </div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-68290031848724158472010-12-22T12:55:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:07:30.459-08:00Indiana Jones and the Lost Country<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>“I feel myself to be Indiana Jones, who has just made a new discovery” – these words of Mikheil Saakashvili made clear number of issues: otherwise, some of us though he felt himself to be the Terminator, especially in that times of august 008, in the center of Gori, with a military waistcoat put on (that movie ended in a very short time), while the others though he was Tarzan, when glanced him half nude in the TV sequence shot on the Batumi seashore.

His nickname was quite simple and understandable – “El Loco” (“Mad”, in Spanish). He liked to appoint his friends, relatives and pretty women on the top positions: “Beauty is the main thing – he underlined – A pretty woman can attract any politician (for a clear reason, I wanted to write “Investor”, but abstained myself)”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the concert shows Bukaram was jumping on the stage, moreover, he was singing the songs and even issued the compact-disc titled “President’s Songs” (perhaps, the similar events will become real in our country, as well). He called his political opponents as the spies of foreign state (under the term “Foreign State” he implied the USA)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This idyll ended in early 1997, when Bukaram invited to Ecuador a very popular “Guru” in the field of economy – Domingo Cavalo, from Argentina, became greatly enthusiastic with his recommendations and . . . put on the Batman’s uniform and appeared in the TV studio to report personally to the whole nation the plan of economic survival of the country.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Taxes are sharply increase, municipal charges and transportation fees as well as the rate of inflation reached a critical point, and, recently, the prices on the food products jumped up considerably (No parallels, no!). At the same time, Burakam wearing the Batman’s uniform was standing before the TV cameras and saying about a unprecedented renaissance of the country</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The films shot in that days of overturn of Burakam, show well how people is running o the Presidential Palace – absolutely spontaneously, without any preparation – some of them in the home dresses and shoes, with hammers, port, in their hands; They did not want elementary to see him any more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But, despite the general madness, Burakam proved to be rather clever not to fire the people, since he realized that there remained no preconditions for his further stay on the post and, he preferred to run away from the country. As some people say, he still considered himself as he president and keeps in the wardrobe the Batman’s uniform hoping that the time will come to put it on again</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite the fact whether this or that unsuccessful leader thinks he is the Batman, the Indiana Jones or the King-Kong (quite a wide choice is offered by the cinematography , but classical phrase – “I am Napoleon” is not any more in fashion), a moment comes when he must go. This happens where a leader has not any more a possibility to carry our more or less positive policy and, there exist no favorable foreign-policy factors to preserve the state power. A time period from recognizing an existence of such factors to “dismantling” the state power, is very difficult to pass. To this end, a chrestomathic example is the late period of governance of the Somosa’s dynasty in Nicaragua.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many persons (their number is critically large) considers that Saakashvili’s power has not any more the possibilities to conduct an effective and result-giving policy, settle the territorial integrity-related problems, guarantee the country’s security, introduce a real democracy and take steps for promoting the economic development. During the last years, especially – after the 2008 August War, no progress has been observed in any of the above listed directions, while for a governing group, preservation of their position in the state power is he main purpose, that is impossible to achieve. By view of the internal policy, Mikheil Saakashvili is facing with the same difficulties, as the “Batman” Abdala Bukaram in that times. As to the external factors, here the things are of the much more complex nature. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Captured by Obsessions</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The US foreign policy, undoubtedly one of the most well-sensible and effective throughout the world, has one defect. Americans are declined to obsessions and, frequently follow incorrect strategy, even in cases when the facts prove that it is mistake. In all major crushes of the US foreign policy the signs of obsessions are clearly seen with the naked eye</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Two examples: At the end of 1970s the Americans did all to preserve the Shah’s regime in Iran, since they thought it was answering their best interests. Washington followed this line strictly and abstained itself even to infringe in an imaginable “stability”, even in the moment when it has become clear for everyone that and the state power in Iran could be overturned soon unless fundamental changes of the regime are undertaken. The result is known: Shah was overturned and the power received the people with whom the USA cannot find even a point of contact up now, after 30 years from that events.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the South Vietnam, the USA was continuing a strong support of Nguen Van Thivu’s regime even in hat time when it became clear that for the countries population there was nothing hate on the earth than this corrupted band. Money and Time, which could be quite enough to form a more or less normal state and support to comparatively civilized political forces, were spent useless. As a result, when communists started a march to Saigon, a prevailing part of the population met them with joy or a full indifferent. Americans lost Vietnam, but despite the fact that their troops were not participated in the final battles, they introduced themselves defeated, for the whole world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It seems that a factor of obsession plays an important role in the course of support of Saakashvili’s regime by Washington. If assess the current developments impartially, it seems that the said factor caused to the US interests in the region a damage, not a benefit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just during governance of this regime the Russian military forces strengthened their positions on the Georgian territory, on the south side of the Caucasian Gorge, as a result, the importance of the military place of arm of both Georgia and the USA reduced to the zero point, practically. At the same time, the Russians took under their practical control the air space of Georgia. A function of Georgia as of a transit-country, became questionable, resulted in a rapid lowering of the interest of other countries, to it. Moreover, many nations especially those from the third world, understood the 2008 August events as the fact hat the USA failed to protect its ally. At the same time, the internal policy conducted by Saakashvili, caused a sharp increase of the anti-American attitude, in almost the same degree as one can observe in the Latin American banana republics. Its interesting what a benefit the USA gained by all these events? and, which are the further surprises Saakashvili is preparing to them, if preserving his power for a long term? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the last two years Saakashvili’s supporters are “unhappy” because Barak Obama not John McCain entered the oval room. However we can say with high probability that McCain who is distinguished himself by the ideas of confrontation with Kremlin, could use Georgia as a grenade shot to the Russia’s direction. It is difficult to count a damage caused the Russian as a result of the above, but within the limits of this scenario, it could have no importance for us, because the fate of Georgia in this case would be the same as the one of a grenade broken in f</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Obama’s administration acts much more rationally. Its main priority is to minimize the global risks, that is necessary in conditions when the USA fights against the economic (and not only) crisis. On this stage, confrontation with any nation - no matter it is Russia or China (if say nothing about the European Union), is not a right way the USA could follow up. As to the USA-Russia relations, the existing controversies are in the course of settling on after another. Is the further support of Saakashvili’s power within the frameworks of the context of this logic? Perhaps, no, because he is a non- prognosticated person, still shares some dangerous theories of neocons and, to say shortly “Feels himself to b the Indiana Jones”. Although, the inertia of obsession regarding a necessary support to Saakashvili’s power, a fear of the uncontrolled destabilization in the Region, a wish of preserving the west-oriented forces in the state power, possibilities of a sharp criticism by side of the Republican Party because of “leaving lone the ally” and a number of other factors, makes it difficult for the White House to terminate fully assistance to Saakashvili and support the radical political changes in Georgia. The similar things took place several times in the US foreign policy, including the Iran and Saigon events mentioned above</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The Fall Marathon</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>In the Closed Circle</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All the aforementioned are important, inter alia, because the Americans have a very serious influence over a large part of the Georgian opposition, for practically all pro-western forces in Georgia, “a friendly advice“ is much more valuable than an own opinion or an order of a protesting electorate. If not such the “advices”, the events at the edge of 2007-2008 and in the Spring of 2009 could be developed under quite another scenario. These political Parties even today are not using all their chances provided by the difficult situation in which the governing group is. instead, they are involved with the great optimism in negotiations regarding improvement of the elections-related environment; “The state power is ready to re-consider its positions in all issues and, if the main problems are agreed, as a result of these negotiations we will receive a qualitatively new Code of Elections” – David Gamkrelidze states in conditions, where the state power’s position is quite rigid: a) No to changes in the majoritary electoral system; b) No to consideration of the early elections; c) A desire of inclusion of other parties (its satellites, presumably) in the process; d) Attempts of extending the negotiations till the Spring of the next year. At the same time, many observers are sure that “Despite the fact that a number of certain changes may be made in the Electoral Code, the “wishes” of forging the elections will in all case be remained therein. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The negotiation itself, is a wonderful thing, however, in this given case, its productivity is under a serious doubt. An approach of some of the participants of this process is understandable, because they were long ago “recommended” to prepare themselves for the 2012 elections and stop thinking about the alternative scenarios. But, a position of the “National Forum” still remains unclear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Because of imprisonment of one of their party members they refuse to sit at the table of negotiations and, at the same time are not in a hurry to perform their promise announced at the beginning of this Fall (concerning the strong fight and achievement of the real results). Today this my be assessed as a political maneuver, but after one or two weeks, a certain disappointment may be spread through that part of the protesting electorate, who believed in the Fall promises of the “National Forum” (it is interesting, whether American partners provided them with some recommendations or not).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On his background, a radically thinking part of the society will decide what to do after November 25, when the Nino Burjanadze’s “Meeting of Peoples Representatives” is planned to be held. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the same time, on the anniversary of the “Rosy revolution”, Saakashvili will also have a certain attempt to introduce maximally that his policy is strongly supported within the country. Therefore, a crossing point of these two lines will define a dramaturgy of the forthcoming political week.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"georgia & world"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a href="http://boqlomi.blogspot.com/2010/12/blog-post_7432.html">Georgian</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-50176673836626454302010-12-19T11:36:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:00:55.217-08:00World Press Freedom Day 2011 to focus on 21st century media<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>"21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers" is the theme of the next edition of World Press Freedom Day, which will be celebrated on 3 May 2011.

Zurab Abashidze –Deputy Chairman of Tbilisi City Assembly talked about it while meeting with the students. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abashidze explained the guests of Tbilisi City Assembly the functions of the opposition and disclosed the activity of Tbilisi Legislative Body and after that the meeting was held under the conversational mode. The students took a keen interest in ways of political activity used in the future elections by the “Free Democrats”. Their interest is mainly, by what ways “Free Democrats” intent to go on political fight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Zurab Abashidze’s words, formation of election lists and providing the population with biometrical passports are very significant for the “Free Democrats”. He referred to future plans of the party and said that “Free Democrats” think it possible to hold protest meetings with the purpose of placing pressure on the authority.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to “Free Democrats” statement, the policy of current injustice and terror in the country will be confronted by the effective forces of civil opposition. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the party of Nino Burjanadze said openly, today’s authoritative regime deprived Georgian population the right and chance for development, self-expression, future prosperity and high rank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Our party has underwent all the attempts of discrediting and chase made by the authority. 2009 Saakashvili’s regime turned tens of members and supporters into political prisoners. Due to different idea and irreconcilability they treated Amiran Bitsadze and Kakha Khandolishvili with terrible cruelty. The facts of their abduction and torture have not been investigated up to now”, - they said in Burjanadze’s party. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, it is mentioned in the statement: “owing to the gravest condition, Georgian population have the only way out: to invite “Representative Public Assembly” of the whole Georgia”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Just the “Representative Public Assembly” gave a chance to the people to express their own will. Due to the decision made by the people, injustice and terror policy set by the Government was confronted by the effective forces of civil opposition. Public patrol institutes and Defender of “Representative Public Assembly” were established just for the above mentioned purpose. People will regain the deprived rights and restore justice! We are confident that as a result of our fight our people will really live in a free, democratic and just country “, - says the statement. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Committees of Civil Disobedience will be set up in Tbilisi, but such committees will put in function all over Georgia in the nearest future”, - said Nino Burjanadze after meeting with the Discussion Body of the Executive Council of “Representative Public Assembly”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Leader of “”Democratic Movement – United Georgia” says they are not going to hold aimless protest meetings and to abuse someone’s confidence. In Burjanadze’s words, the goal of establishing the committees is to root up fear the people are possessed with. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Burjanadze’s opinion, the committees must provide their own examples that they are not scared of Saakashvili’s regime. In her words too, their actions and plans are directed just towards the above mentioned things. According to Burjanadze’s statement, those bodies that had been set up in the “Representative Public Assembly” were completed that day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mainly, Eka Beselia will be head of “Public Defender”. But Gia Burjanadze will be head of the body set up for the purpose of strengthening “Public Defender’s” institution. Gogi Kavtaradze was appointed as speaker of Discussion Body. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As Burjanadze says “Representative Public Assembly” will advance some more directions. Also the directions will be worked out that will contribute to emerging the country from crisis. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Georgian party” starts to take active measures against the authority. Sozar Subari says that for 2011 spring, “Georgian Party” will be ready for meeting any challenge. Mass protest meetings are meant here of course. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We strive to make structured political force. I can not talk on specific measures in this pass, but I want to note that “Georgian Party” has a lot of supporters”, - said Subari.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the leaders of this party say, there is an exact made up plan under which, next year spring, “Georgian Party” will have a well equipped army consisting of 50’000 solders who will be ready for meeting any challenge. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Subari’s words, it won’t be an easy fight but it will “surely” end by the victory – we are the advance guards of this victory and we are obliged to take responsibility for this country.</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-3255362691102718552010-12-19T08:08:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:01:41.735-08:00There are 59 political prisoners in Georgia<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>On the international day of Human Rights Defense, family members of political prisoners once again addressed the international society and diplomatic body accredited in Georgia and demanded release of the prisoners.</i></span></b><br /><br /><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script><br />[Nino Mikiashvili. 20:10 19-12-2010]<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBFzsIfeUHSOi11IL2H6KcSw6mp3FXHxCS-OeRGoH60D8W9zZ7GiC2RHSEuDHc7W9xWC42Aqm4yVFi1ASj226XIYcWMHvRV87VCkplc6rvxyHuxeSfJd0tJWUV4xjqISuUq9dgukzNKA/s1600/a2660.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 187px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBFzsIfeUHSOi11IL2H6KcSw6mp3FXHxCS-OeRGoH60D8W9zZ7GiC2RHSEuDHc7W9xWC42Aqm4yVFi1ASj226XIYcWMHvRV87VCkplc6rvxyHuxeSfJd0tJWUV4xjqISuUq9dgukzNKA/s200/a2660.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552426408862599010" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">In the name of political prisoners’ families, this event was organized by head of the association “Law for People” Zakaria Kutsnashvili, whose father Omar Kutsnashvili is acknowledged as political prisoner. Presa.ge talked with Zakaria Kutsnashvili on phone around political prisoners.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Which list have you published today and who made it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Zakaria Kutsnashvili: this is a list made by joint set up commission of political parties and non-governmental organizations. This commission found some of the people as political prisoners after discussing and studying each case. We want to remind you that this is the list we presented Baiden when meeting him at Tbilisi airport and asked him to release the political prisoners a year and a half ago. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How many political prisoners were there in Georgia and how many ones are there now?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- On July 22, 2009, when Baiden arrived, there were 84 political prisoners in Georgia, six of them were sentenced under administrative law, but 78 ones – under criminal law.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to 2010 evidence, there are 59 political prisoners who were members of the army, society and political parties. Most people among them are members of the society and servicemen. Number of the political prisoners decreased compared with the last year as rather a large number of people from different political parties were released.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In what way were they released?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">– Mainly, by changing punishment form and term of punishment expiration. If only 7-8 parties had political prisoners and there were about 8 ones in each political organization, now only three political groups have more than one political prisoner. These people are supporters of Igor Giorgadze, Irakli Okruashvili and Nino Burjanadze.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How many political prisoners are there in each organization?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">– 15 people were detained among Burjanadze’s supporters and the number went down to 3; There were 4 political prisoners who supported Okruashvili and today the number is the same; Among Giorgadze’s supporters there were 14 political prisoners and today their number makes up 12, two of them served a sentence and were released.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for other parties, - “Conservative Party”, “New Rights” and “Republicans”, they each have one political prisoner; Zaza Chakvetadze is one more political prisoner from “National Forum”.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How many military prisoners, members of the society and political parties are there</div><div style="text-align: justify;">among 59 political prisoners?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">– 36 people are imprisoned from Georgian army and Georgian society. Among 59 ones there are members of political parties and supporters of political leaders. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This specific evidence implies to the fact that up to December 10, Georgia still has had political prisoners for a year and a half. True, after Baiden visit, representatives of political parties were released, but the army and the society are in a disastrous condition. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A year and a half ago, there were 84 political prisoners and this number fell to 59. The decrease is apparent, but I say again – in most cases the release was made owing to changing punishment law or serving a sentence. For example, terms of punishment of 7 people of Igor Giorgadze’s supporters will expire in March of the next year and they will be released too, but their paroling is not the favor of the authority. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We again asked the society on the international day of Human Rights Defense to accent on disastrous condition related to the case of political prisoners in Georgia. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, on December 16, the action of Zaza Chakvetadze from: “National Forum” will be held. The family members of the political prisoner call the authority to release Zaza Chakvetadze in order to decrease the army of Georgian political prisoners by even one person.</div><br />presa.ge<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-74047927502419500942010-12-19T08:04:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:01:58.577-08:00Expectable Budget and Expectable Riot<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Nothing useful can be expected from the budget estimates submitted by the government in the parliament, which must be adopted till December 17, and health care and welfare expenditures are decreased in it; There have been no talks about pension growth; Repayment of interest has increased; Expenses of education sphere as well as of state grants allocated for Patriarchate and grants for theological education have went down; Presa.ge met and talked with the expert of social economy – Otar Khupenia.</i></span></b><br /><br /><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script><br />[Nino Mikiahsvili. 01:44 14.12.2010]<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjceVNVi2K7SYeB0uVlOHAtOJCef5ohFNxeGBcpp_MIJijvYO7x7WZLDGcNfg6PlNwjuQqIxnKC6irEaCsLHwyuWGa7ZUFknjml2fjpCf1KczuHryVDNOfVILa-_leTJwdsxLGzXqfcfmM/s1600/a2682.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 189px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjceVNVi2K7SYeB0uVlOHAtOJCef5ohFNxeGBcpp_MIJijvYO7x7WZLDGcNfg6PlNwjuQqIxnKC6irEaCsLHwyuWGa7ZUFknjml2fjpCf1KczuHryVDNOfVILa-_leTJwdsxLGzXqfcfmM/s200/a2682.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552425520620391186" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Otar Khupenia: If we say expressively, the budget is generally considered as the number made up by logics, but the third variant of the budget that is being considered at the parliament now can be called the heap of mutually exclusively and illogically arranged figures.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They used to say and write in different projects that the budget increased and they named certain numbers; They also forecast better condition in health care and social defense system in spite of the price sky-rocket, but in fact everything is on the contrary – throughout the past years, the state budget decreased by 93 million GEL.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>What does the budget decrease affect on in special?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">– Health care programs were cut by 32 million GEL. Social aids- by 12 million GEL. Expenses of social defense of children – by 8 million GEL. The amount of money to be allocated by the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia will be decreased by 5 million GEL; Repayment interest will surely go up on health care service. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The money to be allocated by the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia will be rolled back by 2 million GEL. Traditional expenses of education have decreased; For example, there is no money in the budget to help people of other nationality living in the regions to learn Georgian language! </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aids for defense system are also reduced that is welcomed – if the significant part of the billions spent on defense system before, was spent on the active segment of the Economics system, our life would be better today. Expenditure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs remains on the same level. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The state budget decreased by 123 million GEL. But according to the prognosis made six months ago, there would be 735 million GEL. The state governor can not make any prognosis in 2011-2012 in fact, because 70-75% of his income depends on the transfer or grant balanced from federal budget. The part of income tax is always collected by any self-governing unit in the world. In our country, it is totally centralized. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have a bigger, state problem – if we strengthen the local self-government as the institution without solid, legislative financial base, it all may be confined to words only.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>How does the increase of budget expenditure by 40% affect on agriculture? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">– Turning agriculture into a filed of high priority and increase of expenses by 40 million GEL are made by incompetent people. It is made for PR, but this amount of money is insignificant for solving the local task. For instance, a person needs 400 gram bread but he/she has 50 gram one and you add him/her 3 gram. This is an approximate picture of agricultural growth. In the country where we eat 80% imported food product, increase by 40% means the allocated money for hybrid corn seed and nothing more. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>What is the situation like in the Department of Pensions?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Nothing happens at all; Merely, the government launched a new PR as if in Georgia “a new pension package” will appear soon. I want to tell people: the idea about pension package is not known to the world; This is an attempt for number game – if a pensioner is offered additional aid as gas or power allowance, they will be summed up and after it they can say that the pension is increased then. It’s all, nothing more. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the average pension level, in the former Soviet Union, Georgia is superior only to pre revolution Kyrgyzstan; But it is inferior to other remaining countries. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, apart from 2011 budget estimates, the government has a prognostic point of view about the situation in the country by 2014 that is very grave to read and think of too. They wrote about the pension security that in 2011 932 million GEL will be spent, but in 2014 the sum will amount to 125 million GEL; i.e. it will increase up to 193 million GEL. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we divide 193 million GEL into the number of the pensioners, the average pension increase will be about 20%, that is 16 GEL. If 16 GEL is added to 80 GEL the pension will make up 90 GEL. i.e. by 2014, the pension won’t even be 100 GEL. If we take into account the fact that during the 5 years, roughly speaking, 30-35% will be wasted due to the inflation. Purchasing power will be less of course. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Is the pecuniary aid of 24-30 GEL for the people under poverty line the same? Is it increasing or reducing? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">-During the next 5 years, this aid will be increased by 20 million GEL in all, it means that each person’s aid will increase by 2,7 tetri per day, but by 81 tetri per month. So, these aids will turn into a fiction. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Public health care means make up 84 million GEL today, that are decreased by 55 million GEL under the new budget. This means that the first aid that is free and available for the great part of the population will actually no longer be given up to 2014 and we will have such picture in the health care system– on the one hand, there will be no population provided with insurance policy or first aid health care. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>In your opinion, is this budget drawn up by uneducated people? Or on the contrary, was it drawn up by intelligent ones on purpose? </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">– In any case, for assessing the result it is the same whether the bad result is given owing to unintelligence or evil. I don’t rule out that majority of them knows these facts but owing to various reasons, some close their ears and some close their eyes but it is not essential now. In this case the result is the key aspect. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The grave economic condition will be aggravated by too high level of foreign debt service in 2012-2013. Now the tax of foreign debt service exceeds one billion. i.e. the one seventh of our budget and according to the date observed by me, this number will grow up.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>And what kind of results can be achieved?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">– It has already been announced that in October, we had double-digit inflation – 10.6, that is declared number. Here the authority acted deceitfully. Economists know how inflation is measured classically even in their third year. But in our country’s condition, when 47 percent of the population is with arms stretched and a beggar says he/she is poor, the principal accent must be made on food aid. Every housewife knows what the wrong was with food product – we mean not 10 % growth but not less than 30-40% increase and unfortunately, it is very vitally significant and essential for the absolute majority of the population.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pensions and social aids are not increasing, but the prices are boosting. It means that purchasing power falls for the absolute majority of the population. I think, just that is why “Free Democrats” declared quite relevantly that a serious threat is approaching us, that can be called a social crisis. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>It can cause the hungry people’s going out in the street, can’t it?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">– Yes, it is classically called a rebellion. We have never had the revolution that expressed massive dissatisfaction. The first revolution and the other one too on Rustaveli Avenue were the revolutions. The results did not reach Aghmashenebeli Avenue, not only, for example, to Ortatchala, to say nothing about the outskirts. In fact, it was a fight for chairs and the result is well known for everyone. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we mean the social rebellion, it is harder to speak about it, because in every country it is a synonym of blood, fratricide and injustice and the result of the above mentioned things is unpredictable though. In such a case, there is practically no chance of coming intelligent people into power. The most probable thing is that hungry people are promised high salary and high pension by someone. Then the promise can not be kept, the question of overthrowing will be put in six months and it will be really overthrown. This process may last for a long time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-51016729610316285382010-12-19T08:01:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:02:04.712-08:00“In Georgia So Called Government Corruption Has Increased”<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>International organization “Transparency International Georgia” surveyed the public’s view on corruption.

Russia at 26%, Armenia at 22% but Azerbaijan at 47%. 91 residents were interviewed in the survey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The opposition is talking about the increase of so called government corruption in Georgia. In its assessment “elite corruption and monopoly are pernicious for the country’s economy”. In Ramaz Sakvarelidze’s words, the Americans noted themselves that corruption shifted from citizens to the elite echelons. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In spite of the well-known survey results made by the international organization “Transparency International Georgia”, Secretary General of “National Movement”, deputy Zurab Melikishvili thinks that corruption has not been curbed thoroughly and interminable works are being implemented in this respect.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When talking with “Pirweli News”, Melikishvili stressed that fight against the corruption is not only a one time action and constant and non stop works must be undertaken against it”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Some years ago, almost every sphere was corrupt in Georgia. As a result of active fight we launched against this direction and number of reforms made by us, almost 90% of the population stated that they were far from corruption deals. There was time, when the same evidence proved to be a quite contradiction. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although, fight must not be stopped against corruption as the fight against this direction is impossible to be perceived as one time action – said Melikishvili to “Pirweli News” and presented an argument about the facts of frequent detainment of officials of various departments by law-enforcing bodies with a charge of corruption. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As the leader of “Republican Party” David Usupashvili says, in Georgia so called government corruption has increased. While making comments on the survey results of “Transparency International Georgia” Mr. Usupashvili told “Pirweli News” that the survey would only give effects of street corruption decrease. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The survey that was conducted by the present organization was carried out according to street poll. Under the present authority, people are less taken away money in the street by officials of governmental bodies in fact, but corruption has increased in the high echelons”, - said Mr. Usupashvili. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In his words too, corruption has grown in the aspect of multi million state order and illegal confiscation- division of property and all these facts were not shown in the poll because “people do not speak about it in the street”, said Mr.Usupashvili. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Peter Mamradze’s statement – one of the leaders of “Movement for Just Georgia” according to the survey of “ Transparency International Georgia” the fear factor of the citizens conditioned the decrease of corruption level in Georgia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mr. Mamradze told “Pirweli News” that there is a total monopoly in the country and elite corruption is thriving. Though, during the polls, fear factor of the citizens works and they give unfair answers in most cases. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“People can not say they were asked for the bribe. This refers to small entrepreneurs. On the one hand, Georgia may give positive results in the general poll, but corruption is a wide perception. In this respect, elite corruption and monopoly are strong enough that is ruinous for the country’s economy”, said Mr. Mamradze. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Labour Party” considers the result of the organization “Transparency International Georgia” survey about fight against corruption in Georgia as unreal. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Giorgi Gugava – political secretary of “Labour Party” – said to “Pirweli News” that now Georgia has by far the highest and unprecedented rate of elite corruption. This fact is clearly proved by the castles of government officials that are built or are under construction in Sikharuli street of Dighomi, Tabakhmela and Tskneti. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Gugava’s words, it is hard to believe that according to the survey Georgia ranks better than other European countries regarding the fight against corruption. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">“While Georgia monopolizes Georgia’s economy and uses the budget money as its own one, how can the level of corruption be low in the country?! In Georgia, there is unbelievable elite corruption and no other organization can see and feel it better than we – Georgian population”, - said Giorgi Kukava. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to political scientist Ramaz Sakvarelidze’s words, monopolies in Georgia arise doubt about the fact that corruption is increasing in Georgia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As Sakvarelidze told “Pirweli News”, it is pleasant to hear the results of the survey that Georgia ranks higher than neighboring countries in the fight against corruption. However, we must take the Americans remarks about elite corruption into consideration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Americans note that corruption shifted from the population to the elite echelons. i.e. lower level of corruption has changed and moved to elite levels. The citizens do not take part in corruption deals any more, but in business and state upper echelons corruption deals take place. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This fact strengthens the idea of existing monopolies in the country and the state supports the monopolies. Hence, there is no doubt about the corruption in the country”, - said Ramaz Sakvarelidze.</div><br />presa.ge<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-24314737120878049182010-12-19T07:58:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:02:18.916-08:00“Decolonization in the North Caucasus Embarks on Worse Course of Development”<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Seeking help from Tbilisi by the Didoy caused a rather absorbing reaction.

According to their assessment, Georgia has to exercise great caution while having the relationship with the Didoy, as Russia is going to use the open help for the Didoy against Georgia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The Didoy population living in Dagestan demand on turning the historical land of Didoy into a constituent part of Georgia”, - said the letter with 15,000 signatures by Didoy population of Dagestan that was brought to Georgia by their representative Moghamed Ramzanov. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“In 1944 we became victims of repressions. Our houses were burnt down and everything was devastated. We demand compensation for the people repressed by Russia. We arrived in Georgia to inform the whole world how we are mistreated. Let Georgia be a political center of the Caucasus”, - the address said. In addition, the Didoy asked Georgian Parliament for help to save Didoy language and culture. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Head of Tsuntinski district administration of Dagestan, Husein Magdoev claims that “ the Didoy did not ask Georgian Parliament for any help”. In his assessment too, the spread information is an attempt for turning the situation destabilized by outer forces in the border region. Moreover, in Magdoevi’s words, he knows nothing about Maghomed Ramazanov who addressed Georgian Parliament in the name of the Didoy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Georgia should exercise great caution in the relationship with the Didoy”, said the expert in Caucasus issues Mamuka Areshidze to “Interpressnews”. Mr. Areshidze noted that was not the first case North Caucasian people asked Georgia to establish political relationship according to some rules. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“North Ossetia demanded twice to become a part of Georgia, in 2006-2007 population living in the regions of Ingushetia asked to become residents of Georgia. At the beginning of 90’ies, due to Russia’s inspiration, management of Abkhazia and so called South Ossetia asked Russian authorities to become parts of Russia on the contrary. We must not forget it, but it does not imply that we should make the same decision because our country is less strong enough. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“While the situation in the Caucasus and Russia has deteriorated, we can take more active measures, but in the present situation I still think that the only thing we can do is to establish cultural relationships and render humanitarian aid”, - said the expert and added that Georgian party should have been more cautious. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The best way of launching negotiations with Russia is raising the issue of North Caucasus”, - says the conflict scientist Paata Zakareishvili. In his words, a visa-free regime can not be established in Didoy without involvement of international organizations. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“If there is a free-visa regime, Russia will act against us, thinking our country contributes to setting up so called terrorist cells and there will no point in proving the truth though”, - said Zakareishvili.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In his words too, rendering help to the Didoy is one of those factors that Georgian authorities use for edging Russia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We did not establish a free-visa regime with Iran without agreeing with the authorities of Iran. Why do you think we did the same without coming to an agreement with Russia? There is no man named Tsiklauri, processes are controlled from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Just they are carrying out the policy of this minor and primitive irritation. By making unimportant acid remarks, we constantly try to upset Russia and challenge it to attack us some day. But it is hard to put Russia out of temper”, - said Zakareishvili. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The expert in Caucasus issues, Giorgi Mamulia calls to the address of the Didoy to Georgian Parliament and he considers that the above mentioned things are proved by the fact that “alienation of Caucasian people from Russia is reaching a final stage”. In Mamulia’s opinion, it is not casual that the initiative of the Didoy coincided with the course of events occurred in Russia that time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“These events have clearly revealed the impassable gulf between Russian-Slavic and Caucasian population. It is apparent that Slavic and Caucasian people can not live together any more and the following results are natural - Russian imperialistic policy towards Caucasian people generally as well as bloody phenomenon of just Putinism. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the case of point, the questions will be inevitably raised before the Caucasians about their future life and lot. The Didoy population were the first ones who made the initiatives”, - said Mamulia to “Pirweli News”. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In his assessment too, according to the fact of decolonization in the North Caucasus that embarks on worse course of development, the mother country of the Empire is infected with pathological xenophobia that absolutely prevents the chance of any cohabitation between Russian and Caucasian population”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The crowd of people befuddled by zoological anti-Caucasian propaganda of Putin, demand on deportation Caucasian people from Moscow and whole Russia under the banner of “Moscow for the Russians” and “Russia for the Russians”. At the same time, the Kremlin does not even want to think about giving independence for the Caucasian people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“In fact, there is an attempt for building the Empire on the basis of Russian nationalism and to turn the Caucasians as well as other non Russian people into slaves without any rights, who are given the right to live in the reservations in case of emergency”, - noted Mr. Mamulia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to his prognosis, as a result of the situation developed in Moscow, tendencies of returning Caucasian people living in Metropolia are expected to be strengthened, that will contribute to ceasing those previous relations between these people and Russia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As for the position Georgia should adhere to in this case, Mr. Mamulia thinks that the most optimal way for Georgia under existing conditions is to strengthen its own policy towards Caucasian people exiled from Russia. In addition, he says that “definite forms of this policy must reflect each definite situation adequately”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We must immediately start feeling concern about establishing closest relationship with intellectual representatives of Caucasian people. We must allocate relevant quotas for the young inhabitants of the mountains in Georgian higher educational institutions and affiliate North Caucasians admission to citizenship of Georgia etc.” – explained Mr. Mamulia. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For your information, the Didoy are representatives of one of the regions of Dagestan. Their language and culture are akin to Lezginian ones. For the present, the population of Dagestan make up 40,000 people. Didoy represents a historical part of today’s Dagestan Republic territory that consists of Tsunti, Bezheti and partially Tsumadi regions. Historically, it was under the political influence of Georgia, though, Didoy had been occupied by the Khanate of the Avars since XVIII. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since then, Islam was spread among the Didoy. Occupation of the Didoy’s lands by Khundzakhi Khanate setback the development of the Didoy and even today the Didoy tribes have rather weak whole self conception. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The process of uniting of the Didoy tribes is still in progress that is favored by newly established national movement. Hinukhians, Capuchians and Hunzibels who have their own mother tongue languages also know Cesar language. The Cesar or in other words the Didoy themselves are numerous among the Didoy tribes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Didoy ( singular – “Dido”, common proper name is “Didobi”) is a group of tribes living in a historical Didoy. The term “Didoys” usually refers to the Didoy or in other words Cesar</div><div style="text-align: justify;">( proper name – cesi), to Hinukhians, Capuchians ( proper name – Capucha’s Suko or Bezhta’s Suko) and to Hunzibels ( proper name – Enzeesi). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Didoy are considered to be Khundzians and do not belong to any separate nation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">presa.ge</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-4663051229120712962010-12-19T07:28:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:02:23.832-08:00Public Defender Appeals to Chief Prosecutor To Investigate Assault on Journalists<b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Georgian Public Defender Giorgi Tugushi, sent case materials on the assault on journalists Nana Pazhava and Ilia Chachibaia to the Chief Prosecutor of Georgia Murtaz Zodelava the materials for further response.</i></span></b><br /><br /><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script><br />[19:32 25.01.2010]<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHk0ekcJQe-GV8qYzDRIggZKmau0gOd_T1QTiXMdH1y2Howh5UmCcVOybFNk-tkjL7axnMilaVA-SDKLFmzSg90QuDUiTMeOFiYO97oBOM_zkjF21R_3Njg8klFHpTBsFlDqFgyZod8rQ/s1600/21-jurnalisteb.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 194px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHk0ekcJQe-GV8qYzDRIggZKmau0gOd_T1QTiXMdH1y2Howh5UmCcVOybFNk-tkjL7axnMilaVA-SDKLFmzSg90QuDUiTMeOFiYO97oBOM_zkjF21R_3Njg8klFHpTBsFlDqFgyZod8rQ/s200/21-jurnalisteb.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552416106352608898" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Public Defender's office Chachibaia and Pazhava have already appealed to the Chief Prosecutor's Office of Georgia and consequently, the Public Defender requested the Chief Prosecutor to inform him about all activities carried out in regard with the investigation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The journalists demand investigation of the incident which occurred on December 31, 2009 in Zugdidi.

Unfortunately, independent news outlets are still reduced, which is often caused by financial or political reasons. For example, problems of Kakheti based TV-Station “Tanamgzavri” in Telavi, which ceased news programs. It is extremely difficult for journalists to get information, especially- in regions, where public officials refuse to make comments to the journalists or release public information. However, informing press service center is privilege of only acceptable media sources. The employees of public services are forbidden to subscribe undesirable newspapers; entrepreneurs are not allowed to order advertisement to independent media sources; local authority spreads groundless accusations and slander with the support of media sources which are controlled by the government; it increases the distrust among the society. Besides that, almost every fact of intimidating journalists, interfering in their professional activities has not been investigated yet.

Namely, on December29, 2007 Ilia along with fellow supporters was conducting a peacefulrally in front of the regional prosecutor's office, urging authoritiesto not falsify presidential elections as well as to punish criminals who committed murders of local residents-about five publicly advertised cases in the region; the rally was also joined by the family members of the murdered citizens. This demand was included in the rally because these criminals have not been punished to date as they have close ties with Roland Akhalaia, the regional prosecutor, whose punishment was demanded by rally participants.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another rally, a peaceful walk in the downtown under the auspices of Egalitarian Institute and led by Ilia Chachibaia was conducted just a couple of days before the presidential elections after the December 29 rally. The demonstrators held banners reading "Roland Akhalaia, Murderer, Go to Prison," the same banner for Zaza Gorozia-the president-appointed governor in the region. Mr. Gorozia, the governor, personally offered Ilia Chachibaia 10,000 lari (about 6,000USD) in hiscar in front of the Governor's administrative building in Zugdidi for his silence in November 2007, a period of the heated pre-election campaign in Georgia; Mr. Gorozia contacted Ilia through a colleague of his to arrange this meeting. Further to this, Ilia was continuously getting threatening phone calls apparently (as discerned from the voice of the caller) from one of the heads of the ConstitutionalSecurity Department under the Ministry of Interior, Vakho Gabelia; the atest phone call, just a couple of weeks ago, contained a message that if Ilia does not stop his activities, he will disseminate stickers all around Zugdidi depicting Ilia nude offering escort service. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Three days after the presidential elections, as Ilia was exiting his apartment, he found the entrance of his residential building populated with numerous stickers containing a concocted image of Ilia's face merged with the body of some prostitute with the text reading "escort service at discount," "please call" and Ilia's personal phone number appeared. Once he was walking toward the downtown Ilia found these stickers with his embarrassing images put up all over the downtown buildings and lampposts. Naturally, he was shocked and greatly embarrassed, considering that his hometown, Zugdidi, is a small town where everyone knows everyone. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ilia called the head of the Patrol Police, Maizer Liparteliani, and asked him for help to identify and catch those who've been doing this to him, but in vain. The head of the police sided with the local officials and urged Ilia to stop expressing his political beliefs; obviously, he took no action. After this, Ilia was still getting threatening phone calls from disclosed numbers on his cell phone, in which callers (Ilia suspects those from the group of aforementioned Vaho Gabelia) were threatening with a murder. In addition, when Ilia was walking home or to the office he was accompanied by slowly moving vehicles from which people would video tape Ilia as part of their threatening campaign of psychological pressure and shouting to him to flee his home town, Zugdidi. Ultimately, they achieved their goals. Ilia left Zugdidi for Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and his journal is temporarily shut down. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To this end, members of Egalitarian Institute had a meeting with Assistant to Chairperson of Georgian Parliament, Nino Burjanadze, on February 8 to deliver the message that Ilia needs security guarantees from the central government before he can return to his hometown to continue his civic and journalistic activities. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ilia is a political refugee in his home country because he is openly expressing his political beliefs and wanted to appeal to the international community to help protect his rights.</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-1462923921211194262010-12-19T07:11:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:03:15.088-08:00New Method of Intimidation on Journalists in Zugdidi<div style="text-align: right;"><b>Who Put Up Assembled Photos of Naked Editor of “Gia Boklomi”?!</b></div><b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Ilia Chachibaia editor of the magazine “Gia Bocklomi” and leader of the Zugdidi office of the “Equalitarian Institute” noticed his necked photos assembled with woman’s body in the center of the town on 27 January.

Please ring on the following numbers: 855 17 65 33. 858 26 80 05.

I shared my doubt with Maizer Liparteliani, the chief of Zugdidi police department that Vakhtang Gabelia an employee from the CSD was the organizer and performer of the vandalism. Liparteliani advised not to accuse somebody so openly, because I did not have any proofs.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since 9:00AM Chachibaia’s intimate telephone started working.

Ilia Chachibaia: “I was called in the name of News Agency “GHN”. Unknown person asked me to make a comment and asked to name possible performer of the facts. When I guessed that it was a provocative call they started to insult me again. I think that phone numbers 895 48 39 04, 895 27 43 22 and 895 94 30 07 are secret ones and Vakhtang Gabelia ordered people to call me.’</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ilia Chachibaia claimed in his conversation with journalists that law enforcers suppress him psychologically. He blames Vakhtang Gabelia, the head of one of the divisions within the Constitutional Security Department in Zugdidi, for the hooliganism. “I have a serious doubt that it was Vakhtang Gabelia. Before presidential elections an employ from the CSD called me and threatened to spread my naked photos in the town if I did not stop publishing the magazine. On 25 December in 2007 after finishing the demonstration organized by the Egalitarian Institute Vakhtang Gabelia assaulted me together with other officials from the CSD near the Regional Prosecutor’s Office. They kicked me and spitted at me. I brought suit regarding to the fact at the Regional Prosecutor’s Office.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nobody made comments regarding the incident at the Constitutional Security Department’s Zugdidi office. The journalists, Ilia Chachibaia was among them too, were told that Zaza Lataria and Vakhtang Gabelia, were on business leave in Tbilisi. However, several minutes later Gabelia was noticed moving around the town in his own car; but seeing journalists he locked the car and did not get out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Such a strange attempt to avoid journalists is not very characteristic for Vakhtang Gabelia. During last four years he arrived at the demonstrations with video-cameras and abused political leaders as well as people with different political opinions. The name of Gabelia was connected with the kidnapping of people. Ilia Chachibaia: “The whole country remembers TV and press reports about the kidnapping of Luiza Pipia, Dali lataria and other people. The victims openly stated how Vakho Gabelia managed to kidnap them and then left in a secret house in Saghoria Forest in Imereti Region…There are concrete people who have audio-recordings to prove how supporters of the opposition parties were invited to the Constitution Security Department and suppressed innocent people there. Gabelia’s name was mostly associated with similar cases.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recently, the name of eighteen-year-old journalist, Ilia Chachibaia, was often mentioned. He was locked in the quarter of the regional Governor, he was kidnapped, Chachibaia often appeared at the court hearings, protest demonstrations; consequently his name was mentioned by media sources and civil society. Today, Ilia Chachibaia urges international organizations and human rights organizations for help; he calls upon the government and Ministry of Internal Affairs to fire those people who threat Georgian citizens instead of defending their security.</div><br />http://www.humanrights.ge<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ghiaboqlomi.blogspot.com/"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 62px; height: 19px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-p9WDWnVWM6DmIJHiNWCFQUfbPxkhGqR-3vI-hRi0qSYRiw3hztdAsOj2RktNNUf1uqQf2aY4nu79gOBCx77kuPi_6TyCGc3ZkytEc5bQ0hgSZPUKlcblpISJOWPFyDIzNdm-wNMb8f0/s200/ukan.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552405483532358546" /></a>skolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18066212227234512746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800550856223802454.post-4476619680037929402010-12-19T07:07:00.000-08:002010-12-22T13:03:20.051-08:00The Government and Internal Ministry Threaten Ilia Chachibaia<div style="text-align: right;"><b>Who tried to detain the chairman of the Egalitarian Institute’s Samegrelo-Zemo-Svaneti Regional office and why?</b></div><b style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i>Ilia Chachibaia, the chairman of the Zugdidi office of the Egalitarian Institute, left the Samegrelo district today.

He called me back several times and demanded the same. ‘Where are you? I will come and we will talk in my car, I will not do anything more,’ he said. I refused each time, but I eventually agreed. Before our meeting, I informed the regional correspondent for Imedi TV, Irakli Lagvilava, and went with him to the Regional Police Department. Our car stopped in front of the Wisol petrol station. Zaza Gorozia called Lagvilava and soon the latter moved into Gorozia’s car. Meanwhile, Dima Markoidze, the head of the Governor’s security, sat in my car. We drove in the direction of the police department and Gorozia followed us in his car with Lagvilava. Markoidze insulted me until we reached the department. Nearly ten policemen were waiting for us when we arrived, all of whom wanted to drag me out of the office and arrest me.
