31 Dec. '13 | Stalin-Statue in Telavi entfernt - Stalin Statue Removed in Telavi Eine Stalin-Staue wurde am 31.12.2013 in der Stadt Telavi in der Region Kacheti entfernt, vier Monate nach der Aufstellung. Die Statue, die bei einem Denkmal zum 2.Weltkrieg auf einem Berg stand, war am 1.9.2013 enthüllt worden. Dies ging zurück auf eine Initiative der örtlichen Stalin-Gesellschaft, die im April eine Genehmigung zur Aufstellung von dem Leiter der örtlichen Behörde erhalten hatte. Kurz nach der Aufstellung stellten die örtlichen Behörden fest, dass dies nicht legal gewesen sei. Nachdem die Stalin-Gesellschaft die Aufforderung der örtlichen Behörden, die Statue zu entfernen, missachteten, schrieben die Behörden die Arbeiten zur Entfernung aus. Die Stiftung für "Bürgerbildung", Mitbegründer des in Tbilisi angesielden Tabula-Medienformats, welche die einzige Bieterin war, führte die Arbeiten nun durch. Am 25.12.13 bestätigte das Parlament in dritter Lesung eine Gesetzesänderung der "Liberty Charter", darauf abgezielt, das öffentliche Darstellen von Symbolen des totalitären kommunistischen Regimes zu verhindern. ...

18 Jan. '13 | Premierminister Ivanishvili spricht über die Beziehungen mit der NATO und Russland ... “We have stated
about our priorities for multiple times – that’s Europe and
Euro-Atlantic alliance; we will unwaveringly follow this path,” he said. “But
in parallel to it a question arises: is it possible to combine
restoration of friendly relations with Russia and at the same time to
have good relations with NATO and to aspire towards NATO and to have
good relations with the United States and NATO-member states? I think
that here Armenia is a good example; Armenia gives a good example for
Georgia and it can be a source of envy in positive sense,” he said. ... |
