Tea Tsulukiani: The commission's conclusion will not be made public today - we will probably present it at the plenary session in the first days of September

According to the head of the Temporary Parliamentary Investigative Commission, Tea Tsulukiani, the commission's conclusion will not be made public today and will likely be presented at the plenary session in the first days of September.

As Tea Tsulukiani stated at the investigative commission session, the conclusion will be discussed in detail at the session.

“The conclusion will not be made public today.

I would like to tell the public that these 6 months are not invented by our commission. The scale of violations and crimes is so great that one might naturally wonder how 6 months is enough to study this topic. This does not depend on us, the law obliges us to complete our work within 6 months.

Tomorrow, on August 5, our term of office expires, this conclusion will be sent to the governing body of the Parliament of Georgia, which is the Bureau of the Parliament.

When the Bureau deems it necessary, it will schedule a plenary session within the time period established by the legislation, where the commission will present this conclusion. This, we assume, will be in the first days of September. That is when the conclusion will be made public at the plenary session of the Parliament, and moreover, there will be a detailed discussion of this conclusion," Tsulukiani noted.

In addition, Tea Tsulukiani proposed at the commission session that the conclusion prepared by them be printed and published in the form of a book, as well as translated into English.

“This is due to the fact that these foreign representatives do not know how Georgia lived from 2003 to 2012. This conclusion should help them understand us, Georgia, and those Georgians who are in the majority in Georgia and no longer want the National Movement and those associated with them to come to power. If you do not object, from today we will start the procedures in the direction of translation and, first of all, printing”, - Tsulukiani noted.

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.
