The Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission has presented a draft conclusion consisting of 430 pages.
As the head of the commission, Tea Tsulukiani, stated at the last session of the commission, one document chronologically collects “the facts and information relevant to our recent history, which is the value of this document.”
According to Tsulukiani, the Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission held 46 sessions, interviewed 139 people, and made one visit to the Khoni penitentiary.
According to Tsulukiani, the conclusion is based on the explanations and statements of the interviewed people, decisions and verdicts of national and international courts, as well as reports of international organizations that were published during the given period.
“The commission’s conclusion is, first of all, important in that the document contains all the facts and actions that the National Movement, Mikheil Saakashvili and those associated with him have been engaged in since November 2003, including the present day.
This is a document that anyone who reads, regardless of age - and I really hope that young people will read it - will see what was happening in our country, what the facts were. One document chronologically contains facts and information relevant to our recent history, which is the value of this document.
I also hope that this document will be useful to the relevant investigative bodies in various directions in order to seek additional information, as well as to the relevant courts or non-governmental organizations that are called upon to conduct real analysis and real research and use it in the interests of their homeland. Such non-governmental organizations, which need to be strengthened, will find this material useful,” said Tea Tsulukiani.
The Temporary Investigative Commission was established in the 11th convocation of the Parliament in February and its term of office was extended three times. The commission was initially formed with the mandate to study the period of the National Movement’s stay in power, however, the mandate was soon expanded and its subject of interest became the study of the activities of former officials from 2003 to the present.
The temporary investigative commission is headed by the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, Tea Tsulukiani. The following MPs are represented in the commission with opposition status: - Sozar Subari, Guram Macharashvili and Ilia Injia, and from the faction Georgian Dream - Tengiz Sharmanashvili, Aleksandre Tabatadze, Irakli Kadagishvili and Aluda Ghudushauri.
Several opposition leaders are serving sentences in prison for refusing to appear before the said commission.
