As
a result of mediation of the Human Rights Commissionaire of CoE Thomas
Hammarberg Ossetian detainees were released; the former detainees
recall the hard time they had spent in Gori detention settings in their
interviews with Tskhinvali media sources. According to them, Georgian
police arbitrarily detained them. The imprisonment, because of poor
conditions and cruel treatment, was so hard for them that they did not
hope to survive not to speak about freedom.

Georgian Young Lawyers Association, newspaper “Resonance” and
Conservative Party. They petitioned to lift the Griffith Secret from
the Memorandum on the management of EngurHess between Government of
Georgia and Inter-Rao Ues. The decision reinforced the doubt of suitors
that there are some unacceptable conditions for Georgia in this
memorandum. After the suitors appeal all courts in Georgia, the case

 For
a long time I was planning to prepare this article but having read the
final report of the Secretary General of the UN I decided to offer my
letter to the readers in this way. I hope I will receive some results
from it and then I will not have to publish this information in the
mass media.

 Niko
Orvelashvili, independent expert of economy, categorically opposes
assignment of the Enguri Hydro Electro Station to Russian Company
“Inter RAO” for ten years; based on the agreement the Russian company
will acquire the right of the management of the hydro electro station.
Memorandum signed between Georgia and this company on December 28, 2008
is idiotism and stupid action according to Orvelashvili’s assessment.
News Agency “Medianews” interviewed Niko Orvelashvili regarding the
issue.

There is a question how attentive and respectful Georgian Society is towards the Abkhaz nation? Are we sincere in our statements when we claim that we want to live together with Abkhaz people, and even when we cannot understand each other? We need to go beyond of Abkhaz people being considered as guests from the North “who live on our holy land and that they should be grateful for existing here and breathing our air.” Many people detested when the Bible was translated into the Abkhazian language. Maybe, however, we should find out who was actually responsible for burning the Abkhazian State Archive and Scientific-Research Institute in Sokhumi to the ground in the early 90s. Let us come to terms and confess what we have done to save Abkhazian language and its rich culture. How much money we have spent in that direction? What have we done to really resolve the conflict? How can the fact be justified when in 2007 the budget of the Georgian Defense Ministry was 1, 494 billion GEL while the budget for the administration of the State Minister for Conflict Resolution (now Ministry of Reintegration) was just a mere 610 thousand GEL? What are we doing to maintain Abkhazia as Abkhazian and to develop the Abkhazian language?
