Since June 14th, the Georgian press has focused on the topic of the Meskhetians, a population deported from Georgia in 1944 and never rehabilitated. The Georgian Parliament has begun the consideration of one of the most controversial questions, yet one that has sat on Parliament's back burner for the past fifteen years. The current haste is curious, given the misunderstanding and indifference long sustained by the question of rehabilitating one of the last peoples punished by being forbidden to repatriate, along with the Crimean Tatars.
