PHOTOGRAPHY: After War Project - Georgia (socialdocumentary.net)

By Gega (Giorgi) Chumburidze

Morning Day when I was going to Tbilisi from eastern Georgia. I see the army but only see, without information.

And in the evening it was started….There was armed conflict in South Ossetia (Region of Georgia) between Russia and Georgia. Because of this, habitants from conflict zone were running away from their homes to escape from bullets. They lived in buildings of schools, kindergartens, cities of tents, etc. There were many villages destroyed in region.

CULINARIA: Georgisches Kochstudio und Weinverkostung in Berlin (grusignac.de)

Nach unseren erfolgreichen Start unserer Kochveranstaltungen findet dieses Jahr das erste Kochstudio am 12. Februar 2010 um 19:30 Uhr statt. Wir freuen uns auf alle, die Lust haben die Georgische Küche näher kennen zu lernen. Auf die guten alten Bekannten, die ihre ersten Erfahrungen dieser Küche bereits erfolgreich absolvierten und auf die Neugierigen, die diese Küche erstmals kennen lernen möchten.

Als Schwerpunkt dieses Kochstudios, habe ich als Seminarleiterin, die Speise "Georgische Tolma" auserkoren. Wir werden dieses Gericht zusammen zubereiten und ich werde Ihnen die verschiedenen unterschiedlichen Arten erklären. Es gibt viele Varianten dieser Form von Krautwickel auf der Welt. Wobei die aus dem Kaukasus mit Hackfleisch vom Rind und Reis in Weinblättern, Paprika, Auberginen und Kohl hergestellt werden. Selbst in Georgien gibt es regionale Zubereitungs-Unterschiede die sich geschmacklich unterscheiden. In Westgeorgien werden sie recht pikant mit Schweinefleisch zubereitet und im Osten lieben sie die Georgier lieber mild mit Rind oder Hammelfleisch. Selbst wenn die Rezepturen gleich sind, kocht jede Hausfrau ihre Tolma etwas anders. Lassen Sie uns die georgische Spezialität gemeinsam zubereiten, sowie wickeln und lernen Sie dabei, dieses Rezept selber zu kochen. Ergänzen werden wir dieses Speise durch den Salat "Kotrana", eine köstliche landestypische Zubereitungsform von Weißkohl und Walnüssen. Lernen Sie, lauschen Sie meinen Worten und freuen Sie sich auf georgische Weine, gute Unterhaltungen über Georgien, georgische Küchenkunst und unsere Kultur. Wir vom Kochstudio freuen uns auf Sie.

Preis pro Person 29,50 €

NACHTRAG: Gedenkveranstaltung in Berlin (eurokaukasia.de)

Kurz vor seinem Zusammenbruch versuchte das sowjetische Regime verzweifelt, den Freiheitsdrang der nach Unabhängigkeit strebenden Völker der UdSSR mit Gewalt zu unterdrücken. Dabei wurde in Aserbaidschan wie auch in anderen postsowjetischen Ländern mit größter Gewalt gegen das demonstrierende Volk vorgegangen.
In der Nacht vom 19. zum 20. Januar 1990 fanden die Ereignisse ihren dramatischen Höhepunkt. An diesem Tag wurde der Drang nach Freiheit des aserbaidschanischen Volkes durch sowjetische Panzer brutal bekämpft. Die Zahl der Ermordeten überstieg die der Opfer in allen anderen Sowjetrepubliken, Tausende wurden verletzt. Aber zugleich war damit das Finale des Zerfalls der Union eingeleitet. In Erinnerung an den 20. Jahrestag des „Schwarzen Januars von Baku“ laden wir Sie recht herzlich zu einer Gedenkveranstaltung ein.

Mittwoch, den 20. Januar 2010, 18:00 ‐ 20:00 Uhr

Veranstaltungsort: Heilig‐Kreuz‐Kirche, Zossener Straße 65, 10961 Berlin

Begrüßung: Otto Hauser, Vorsitzender des Deutsch‐Aserbaidschanischen Forums e.V., Regierungssprecher und Parl. Staatssekretär a.D.

BOOK RECENSION: Georgia and Russia- An American take on a war that fed conspiracies throughout Europe (economist.com)

A Little War That Shook the World: Georgia, Russia, and the Future of the West. By Ronald Asmus. Palgrave Macmillan; 250 pages; $27 and £20.

TWO points about the war in Georgia in 2008 have stuck in outsiders’ memories. One is that it was quite unexpected. The other is that Georgia started it. Both, in Ronald Asmus’s view, are wrong.

The real cause of the war, he argues, was Russia’s determination to block Georgia’s American-educated and America-loving president, Mikheil Saakashvili. He had embarked on “a crash course to turn Georgia from a semi-failed state into a reform tiger that could become the catalyst for creating a democratic pro-Western corridor in the southern Caucasus…it was a breathtaking vision.”

Mr Asmus’s metaphors may be breathtakingly mixed, but his big point is right. Situated on the most promising east-west route for oil and gas, Georgia was becoming an economic and political success story under Mr Saakashvili, who took power in the “Rose revolution” of 2003. Its pluralism was a profound challenge to the authoritarian crony capitalism taking root in Russia under Vladimir Putin.

POLICY: Sweden to open ten embassies and close six - open office in Georgia (sweden.gov.se)

The Government decided today to close Sweden's embassies in Bratislava, Dakar, Dublin, Ljubljana, Luxembourg and Sofia in the course of this year. At the same time, ten embassies will be opened, partly based on existing section offices.

The Government intends to strengthen Sweden's presence in the Caucasus and the Balkans by upgrading to embassies the present section offices in Pristina (Kosovo), Tbilisi (Georgia), Chisinau (Moldova) and Tirana (Albania). Similarly, Sweden's presence in West Africa will be strengthened by upgrading the section offices in Bamako (Mali), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) and Monrovia (Liberia). Section offices will also be upgraded to embassies in Kigali (Rwanda), La Paz (Bolivia) and Phnom Penh (Cambodia).

"Within the framework of the close cooperation that exists between the EU Member States, there is scope for developing new forms for maintaining bilateral contacts in future," says Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt.

"We want to be where we make the best possible use of the money that a Swedish presence costs. It is positive that we can use our resources to strengthen Sweden's presence in a number of nearby countries," Mr Bildt continues.

"Upgrading section offices to embassies is part of the process of supporting the implementation of Swedish-financed development assistance contributions in countries with which we conduct long-term development cooperation. A stronger presence on the spot is tremendously important for implementing effective, high quality and results-based development cooperation," says Minister for International Development Cooperation Gunilla Carlsson.

The Swedish Foreign Service changes with the world around it. With today's decision and announced changes, Sweden will have opened 40 missions abroad and closed 54 between 1990 and the end of 2010.

ARTIKEL: Polizei stürmt einzige Homosexuellen-NGO (derstandard.at)

Leiter Sabelashvili, wegen angeblichen Drogenschmuggels verhaftet, wieder auf freiem Fuß - Hatte Schuldeingeständnis unterschrieben

Paata Sabelashvili, Gründer und Leiter der georgischen Inclusive Foundation, der einzigen georgischen Organisation, die sich für die Interessen von Homo- und Bisexuellen sowie von Transgendern einsetzt, ist wieder frei. Das meldet das Monatsmagazin Datum auf seiner Homepage. Am 15. Dezember war das im Zentrum von Tiflis gelegene Büro von Zivil-Polizisten des Innenministeriums gestürmt worden - erst Ende Dezember wurde die Aktion bekannt. Sabelashvili, der noch wenige Tage zuvor gegenüber Datum die Diskriminierung von Homosexuellen in Georgien und die ständige Angst vor Repressalien und Übergriffen geschildert hatte, wurde wegen angeblichen Drogenschmuggels verhaftet.

Nach zwölf Tagen in überfüllten Gefängnis-Zellen - die Wachen hatten ihn gegenüber den Mitgefangenen als homosexuell geoutet - wurde Sabelashvili erst aus der Haft entlassen, nachdem er auf Anraten seiner Anwälte ein vom Staatsanwalt angebotenes Schuldeingeständnis mit einer Strafe von 1600 Euro auf Bewährung unterzeichnet hatte. "Jetzt bereue ich sehr, dass ich die Einigung unterschrieben habe. Ich würde lieber im Gefängnis bleiben, als das Verhalten zu erleben, mit dem ich jetzt konfrontiert bin", sagt Sabelashvili gegenüber Datum. Freunde und Mitstreiter hätten Angst, würden ihm nicht mehr trauen und nicht mehr mit ihm sprechen, weil sie glauben, er würde mit der Polizei kooperieren.

Als Jason mit seiner 50 Mann starken Besatzung in See sticht, liegt vor den griechischen Helden eine gefahrvolle Reise ans Ende der damals bekannten Welt. Für den Trip ließ der junge Heroe eine einzigartige Galeere bauen, die er "Argo" taufte. Das gewaltige Ruderboot soll die eingeschworene Gemeinschaft in das sagenumwobene Land Kolchis jenseits der Dardanellen bringen. Die Legende berichtet, dass niemand zuvor bis in die fremden Gestade vorgedrungen sei. Jason, der Prinz von Jolkos, aber riskiert die abenteuerliche Fahrt, denn er ist auf der Jagd nach dem "Goldenen Vlies". Er weiß, wenn er das heilige Widderfell wohlbehalten in seine Heimatstadt zurück bringt, warten auf ihn nicht nur Ruhm und Ehre, sondern auch der Königsthron.

Schon lange diskutieren Wissenschaftler über den Wahrheitsgehalt des antiken Mythos. Sie gehen davon aus, dass die Geschichte von Jason und den Argonauten die erste Entdeckungsreise der Menschheit ins Schwarze Meer beschreibt. Triebfeder für die Expedition war die Gier nach Gold, das seit jeher in den Flüssen und Bergwerken im heutigen Georgien vorkam. Die Herrscher wollten das Goldland am Fuß des Kaukasus zur eigenen Provinz machen. Nur so konnten sie das edle Metall in rauen Mengen importieren, ohne dafür gigantische Summen aufzubringen. Der Theorie zufolge berichtet die Sage auch von den gewaltsamen Übergriffen der Könige, um an den kostbaren Rohstoff zu gelangen.

Die These stützen Schmuck und andere Preziosen aus dem 11. Jahrhundert vor Christus, die Archäologen in Jolkos aus einem untergegangenen Palast holten. Lange wussten die Gelehrten nicht, woher das Material für die Objekte stammte. Im Jahr 2004 schließlich brachten Dr. Andreas Hauptmann und seine Kollegen vom Deutschen Bergbaumuseum Bochum Licht ins Dunkel der Wissenschaft. Das Team entdeckte in Georgien das älteste Goldbergwerk der Welt. Die Sensation war perfekt, als die Forscher einige der Fundstücke aus Griechenland per Elementaranalyse mit den Golderzen aus der 5000 Jahre alten Mine verglichen.

Die Dokumentation erzählt von der spannenden Beweisführung renommierter Forscher, um die historischen Fakten hinter dem Mythos aufzudecken. Zur Rekonstruktion der Zusammenhänge gehört auch ein Nachbau der "Argo". In einem Experiment belegen die Wissenschaftler, dass das bronzezeitliche Schiff technisch in der Lage war, die Strecke vom griechischen Hafen Jolkos bis nach Georgien zurückzulegen.
