But managing director warns that "putting Georgia's economy on a
sound footing will require perseverance"
By Christina Tashkevich
In a statement released
on Monday, officials from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lauded the
"impressive progress" made by the Georgian government since taking
office in 2004.
In his June 13 statement
IMF Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato underlined the government's successes in
their transition to an open, market-based economy since the Rose Revolution in
November 2003.
In particular, he
highlighted reform of the tax code, the privatization drive, and steps taken to
improve the business climate as "the most visible improvements."
"More broadly,
Georgia is on a promising path toward sustained growth and the alleviation of
poverty," the statement reads.
However, while noting the
successes, de Rato also warned that "putting Georgia's economy on a sound
footing will require perseverance and a broad social consensus in the coming
years."

Prague - A man who tried to smuggle dozens of rare animals into the Czech Republic was caught with turtles in his luggage and a snake in his pants.
A customs spokesperson said the passenger, who flew in from Tbilisi, Georgia, was nabbed after officers searching his luggage discovered scorpions, a horned viper, several beetles, a turtle and a brown bear claw.
They then searched the man and found another snake hidden in his pants "in the area of his abdomen". They said they seized 60 live animals altogether and arrested the man.

 Eli Shimshilshvili, a geologist at Ben-Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, yesterday stood in the middle of the sports field at one of the city's schools, struggling to hide his pride. He pointed out hundreds of former residents of the Republic of Georgia participating and watching in the first national targetball competition.
"It was all worth it just for that," he said, pointing to two Georgian men who hadn't met in several years. The pair hugged, kissed and fell into conversation. They also chatted about targetball.
The game, a tradition among Georgian Jews, is characteristic of Passover for them: Shimshilshvili and other former Georgians remembered yesterday how they wouldn't give up their targetball games during the holiday week, any more
than they would give up their seder. In their home
town of Avani, about 250 kilometers from the capital Tblisi, the women served food and delicacies, and the men played the game, known locally as sa'eh burti.
Even after they immigrated to Israel, there were
groups of Georgians who found it hard to give up the holiday sport. They knew they would never make it to the Olympics but nonetheless they thought that you don't give up traditions," and they continued to play targetball in their new Israeli neighborhoods. They secretly hoped for the day when targetball would become a regular recognized sport.
It's possible that yesterday, the opening of the first national targetball competition, was the first shot in the battle for the longed-for recognition.

Joseph Stalin and his wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva.
Documentary on brutalized wife of Stalin
By Jerry Tallmer
She was 16, he was 39.
That’s not so unusual, but the 39-year-old in this case was the a rough-hewn Georgian from Tiflis named Iosif Vissanonovich Dzhugashvili, back from four years exile in Siberia just in time for the Revolution – though on the great dangerous day itself, November 7, 1917 (old calendar), he was, they say, nowhere to be found.
Be that as it may, during the next three and a half decades this gentleman, Joseph Stalin, who IN 1919, having lost an earlier wife to typhus, became the husband of 16-year-old Nadezhda Alliluyeva, would directly or indirectly be responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of human beings.
Was one of those millions she herself, that onetime child bride? And had he raped her, during a train ride, at night, before he married her? And was he in fact not only her husband but, a la John Huston in Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown,” her father?
“The devil himself knows whose daughter you are, maybe mine,” he had bellowed at her when the fury was upon him. At that, Stalin might not improbably have been one of the many revolutionaries whom Nadezhda’s mother, strong-willed, free-thinking Olga Federenko, took to bed now and again. We know that Olga thought her daughter too young and Stalin too old for them to marry.
Natasha Alliluyeva probably didn’t say anything. Her prettiness, according to photographs, was of the somewhat bovine sort, and on top of that, all during her 14 years with Stalin – i.e., the 14 remaining years of her life — she’d been “forcing herself to be dull.” So we are told. She’d also had 10 abortions (plus two children, Vasili and Svetlana).

The Greek government is aware of the problems and the persecution of the estimated 2,000 ethnic Greeks in Tsalka, Georgia, stressed Foreign Ministry spokesman Giorgos Koumoutsakos who referred to the moves already made by the government.
Both Deputy Foreign Minister Mr. Skandalakis and the Greek embassy in Tbilisi have become very active to deal with such phenomena, stated Mr. Koumoutsakos. He added that there are results, which have not solved the problem yet but contribute toward the improvement of the situation. He also stated that three days ago, Mr. Skandalakis had met with the ambassador of Georgia to Greece to whom he expressed his strong concern on the situation in Tsalka while certain measures have already been taken by the Georgian authorities.

Zhordania has been charged with the embezzlement of funds that belonged to the Dynamo Tbilisi football club when he was its president in the 1990s. Criminal proceedings against Zhordania were instituted by financial police, but his lawyers are determined to appeal the court ruling in a higher-tier court.

I am a little overwhelmed with work :-(
|
|

Hi Guys,
As some of you may know, I started a new job two weeks ago which has been keeping me crazy busy. Long hours, tons of work, etc etc....On top of that, I've got school - 5 classes! So, I am going a little bit nuts right now, but I will have more time soon because I am hoping to take just 2 classes this summer.
Nevertheless, with a full-time job, I will be VERY busy. That's why I will need YOUR help. In order to keep this site updated, fun and interesting to visitors, I need volunteers. I know some of you previously volunteered to help.....but this time, I need some SERIOUS commitments. Specifically, I need volunteer EDITORS, RESEARCHERS and NEWS SUBMITTERS.
If I assign a job to you, that means I will depend on you to do it. If you know you don't have time, don't sign up for it!
So, to make the long story short, everything is on a volunteer basis, i.e. no pay...this site is free and I have been doing everything here for free....so if you're willing to work 3-4 hours for free a week to make this site better, please email me! Kartuli @ Kartuli . com. In your email, tell me what you want to do: a) Editor, b) Researcher, c) News submitter. Once you have committed to your job, you should be able to do 3-4 hours a week. I will assign projects and teach you how to do things...THANKS!
