Property Owners Victimized By Signagi Rehabilitation Request Their Properties Back

October 19, 2012

Property owners, who became victims of Signagi rehabilitation, request their seized properties back which were assigned to other persons under force. The victims told ICK that after the new government finally comes into office, they intend to start litigation procedures to gain their properties back.

In 2007, Gela Bezhashvili and Badur Milashvili assigned their property in Signagi to the state under threat and oppression. Businessman Bachana Davlianidze purchased the property of Manana Tarashvili and Tamar Khelashvili at a non-market price, as the former owners claim.

“I was compelled to give my property to the state as a gift; they threatened me with arresting my son though anyway he was arrested after I had assigned the property to the state; nobody paid a single tetri to me. Shall I forgive them it? I will definitely struggle for my property; when the new parliament starts functioning, initially I will appeal to the special commission and we will see what will happen afterwards. I have talked with Badur Melashvili too; we are going to struggle for our properties together. They seized his accommodation space without paying anything either,” Gela Bezhashvili told ICK who had lost market, a small shop and space in Signagi.

“I am going to claim my property after the new government comes in office. In October of 2007 I appealed to the prosecutor’s office and the case is still underway. They transferred 23 500 USD to me though official price of one square meter in Signagi was 3 500 USD; the space of my shop was 47 sq. meters. If I gain my property back, I will reimburse the paid money to the state completely. Hopefully, they will also compensate us for the damage of these years,” Tamar Tarashvili told ICK.

“My space, where I ran a shop, cost at least 100 000 USD but they transferred only 21 000 USD to my account. I have not touched it and will transfer it back to them if they return my property back,” Manana Macharashvili said.
