New Wave of Reforms in Schools
The tension in Kutaisi public schools increases every
day. Teachers protest the new initiative of the minister of education.
“It is violation of our rights. Why do they think that teachers with
only 18 working hours are valuable people for school? Finally, let them
tell us that we are not necessary any longer. But they should not send
us out of the street and offer new working places,” the teachers start
their meetings in every public school of Kutaisi with similar
discussions every day.

“Trip To Paris Canceled, Go To Leningori Now!” – Simulated Destination of Russian Soldiers for Georgian Passengers
Russian soldiers on the
background of green and yellow carriage at the Akhalgori district
administrative border look nice. If we recall the days of the armed
conflict of August of 2008, we will remember Tbilisi being afraid of
Russian tanks to enter in the capital; after that you will expect cruel
faces of Russian soldiers to stand at the checkpoint of the village of
Mosabruni in Akhalgori district… But it is not so. Russian recruits of
18-20 stand there with the face as if they are holding toy-guns instead
of real automatic weapons. They register the passengers traveling to
Akhalgori and surrounding villages with smiling faces. They seem to have
received a similar order.

the most secure place in comparison Zugdidi. It might sound strange but
