POLITIC: Mark Mullen’s special interview with Irakli Alasania (georgianews.ge)
(georgianews.ge) Mark Mullen interviewed Defense Minister of Georgia Irakli Alasania and discusses such topics as 2008, Lapankuri, NATO, Germany, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Abkhazia and much more.
The original audio podcast version of this content can be found at TBLpod.com, recorded locally on Rustaveli Avenue. Each week Mark and his excellent team of researchers, experts and analysts put together a summary of what has happened in Georgia and why. Years of experience and contacts in this country help them provide a context for the news each week. Their discussions give a uniquely candid perspective, which is difficult to find anywhere else, even in Georgian, and which [we must note] is their personal opinion and not that of any organization or company they or we may work for or represent, including Palitra. For this reason Mark and his team have an audience from all over the world and, even more interestingly, a devoted audience of Georgian listeners interested in their outlook on current events. Thanks for tuning in. Please come back next week.

GEORGIEN: Iwanischwili stellt sein Kabinett vor (de.euronews.com)
(de.euronews.com) Vor einer Woche hatte der Milliardär Bidsina Iwanischwili die Parlamentswahl in Georgien gewonnen, jetzt stellte der 56jährige künftige Ministerpräsident in Tiflis sein Kabinett vor. Es gilt als prowesntlich eingestellt. Irakli Alasanja, früher UN-Botschafter, wird Verteidigungsminister und Vize-Premier. Die deutsch sprechende Diplomatin und Ex-Botschafterin in Berlin, Maja Pandschikidse, führt künftig das Außenministerium, und Irakli Garibaschwili wird neuer Innenminister.
Der US-amerikanische Politanalyst Mark Mullen von Transparency International sagte: "Das sind gute Nachrichten. Bidsina Iwanischwili hat eine breite Koalition aufgestellt. Im Wahlkampf gab es viel Feindseligkeuroeit zwischen den verschiedenen Gruppen. Ich denke, die ausgesuchten Leute sind sehr gut für ihre Jobs geeignet."
Vertreter von künftiger Regierung und Opposition trafen sich bereits, um einen glatten Machtwechsel zu besprechen. Die Stimmung zwischen den politischen Lagern war vor der Wahl enorm angespannt. Das soll sich ändern.
Unter diesem Vorzeichen startete in Tiflis das traditionelle Fest Tbilisoba, mit dem der Beginn der Weinernte gefeiert wird. Der Tifliser Alexander Bagrationi-Davidof sagte: "Der Druck ist weg. Alle Tifliser verstehen, dass sie zusammenleben müssen. Der georgische Wein, das Tbilisoba-Fest, sind die beste Möglichkeit, um zusammenzukommen, gemeinsam zu trinken, Spaß zu haben und glücklicher zu werden."
Während der Wein floss, machte die Außenministerin Pandschikidse klar, dass sie das Land an Russland annähern wolle - ohne jedoch den prowestlichen Kurs der vergangenen Jahre in Frage zu stellen.

PHOTO-EXHIBITION: The Russian-Georgian Conflict. A Humanitarian Perspective. By Uwe Schober. (georgien.boell-net.de)
PRESS RELEASE: The South Caucasus Regional Office of the Heinrich Boell Foundation is happy to announce a public debate on "The Fate of Georgia’s IDPs: Grief, Challenges, Hopes?" at the vernissage of Mr. Uwe Schober’s Photos - war in caucasus >>>
at the Office of the Heinrich Boell Foundation on Wednesday 1 July 2009 at 18:00. The United Nations estimate that the Russian-Georgian War in August 2008 created a significant number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Georgia. Many of these saw their houses burnt, looted or taken by others that stayed behind. Given the recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent by Russia, the return of many of the Georgian IDPs to their native regions and villages is put into question.
There will be a public debate "The Fate of Georgia’s IDPs: Grief, Challenges, Hopes?" beginning at 18:30. Speakers will include Ms. Medea Turashvili (International Crisis Group), Mr. Mark Mullen (Transparency International), Ms. Julia Kharashvili (Head of the Department for External Affairs at the Ministry of IDP Issues of the Georgian Government), Mr. Besik Tserediani (Consultant, Ministry of IDP Issues of the Georgian Government).
We are looking forward to welcoming you at our office at 38, Zovreti Street, 0160 Tbilisi.
