“Homeland of Potato” Harvestless for 2008
Samtskhe-Javakheti region in south-eastern Georgia,
which was always considered to be the “homeland and breadbasket of
potatoes,” now faces the immediate danger of facing this crop season
without much of a potato harvest. The damage from the prolonged frosts
has amounted to 12 million GEL already, and much seed potatoes have
been frozen where it will not germinate. This year’ severe winter has
created many problems for agriculture with 15 thousand tones of
seed-potato frozen.

“Delayed” Promised Vouchers or “Runaround”

Forgotten Deported People
Nato Shavshishvili, who was deported from Russia last year during the “Big Deportation”, is now living together with her family in Varketili distict of Tbilisi. She was paralyzed and found herself living in very difficult conditions when she returned to Georgia through Armenia. It was very difficult for her to start her life from the beginning. She became a private entrepreneur and opened a small shop, but this ended up causing her even more problems than benefits. Many other Georgians who were deported as a result of the Georgian Russian Spy Scandal in November of 2006 are also now living in difficult situations.2008-03-05
Teacher vs. Corrupt Director
Nanuli Gakhokidze, a resident of Khoni district in
Imereti Region, Western Georgia, worked at the Khoni Branch of the
Tbilisi Comprehensive Art School since January 1 2000 as a nurse.
During the first 3 years of her employment she received a meager salary
of 15 GEL and afterwards she received 25 GEL a month. Nanuli Gakhokidze
doubted about the amount of her official salary since she signed the
salary acceptance report on 53 GEL in October of 2005. However, the
director of the school still paid only 25 GEL as a standard practice.
The dispute found its way to court.
