Tea Tsulukiani, chairperson of the parliament’s interim investigation commission into the activities of the 2003-2012 regime, its political officeholders, and current and former officials affiliated with political parties of this regime from 2003 to the present, on Monday, summarized the commission’s work at today’s session.

According to Tsulukiani, 46 sessions were held and 139 people were questioned. The report entails 775 explanations and assertions.

“We had one field session in Khoni, visiting the former 13th penitentiary institution. We studied all international reports and assessments, decisions and rulings of national and international courts. The report is 430 pages long,” Tsulukiani stated.

As Tsulukiani noted, “the report is primarily significant because it compiles all the facts and actions committed by the United National Movement, Mikheil Saakashvili and individuals associated with them from November 2003 to the present day.”

“When any person reads this document, regardless of age, they will see what was happening in our country and what the facts were. I have great hope that young people will also read it. The report is organised chronologically, using facts and information from our recent past.

I hope this document will be useful for relevant investigative bodies to seek additional information in various directions, as well as for relevant courts and non-governmental organizations,” she said.

The commission chair noted that the report will be made public in September. “Following opinions expressed by commission members, we will put this draft report to a vote today, but the report will not be made public today.”

Explaining the procedure, Tsulukiani added that the commission’s mandate expires tomorrow, “and this report will be delivered to the Georgian Parliament’s Bureau, which will organise a plenary session in which we, the commission, will present it.”

“We anticipate that this will occur in the first few days of September. The report will be made public at the legislative plenary session,” she added.
