This article appears to be a news analysis piece discussing the implications of a commission investigating the 2008 conflict between Georgia and Russia. Here’s a summary:
The Georgian Dream (GD) government has established a commission to investigate the decisions made by former President Mikheil Saakashvili and other leaders during the 2008 war. The commission is chaired by Tamar Tsulukiani, who is leading a high-pressure inquisition of former military leaders, General Zurab Gogava and General Mamuka Kurashvili.
The commission’s goal seems to be twofold: to create discord within the opposition movement and to legally eliminate the United National Movement (UNM), Saakashvili’s party. Tsulukiani is using the hearings to highlight GD’s successes in defending the country and its military, while portraying Saakashvili as responsible for Georgia’s failures.
The article suggests that the commission’s true intention is to create a pretext for banning the UNM and preventing its members from forming new parties. This would give GD an advantage in the next election.
The opposition movement, led by young protesters, seems to be aware of these plans but may struggle to unite due to internal conflicts and egos.
Key points:
* The commission’s hearings are seen as a way to create discord within the opposition movement.
* Tsulukiani is using the hearings to highlight GD’s successes and portray Saakashvili as responsible for Georgia’s failures.
* The commission’s goal is to legally eliminate the UNM and prevent its members from forming new parties.
* The opposition movement is aware of these plans but may struggle to unite due to internal conflicts and egos.
