The training was led by Tinatin Khidasheli, the head of the non-governmental organisation Civic Idea and former Minister of Defense of Georgia.
In March 2025, the number of patients increased significantly at the Akhalgori district hospital. The increase in the flow of patients hindered the service of the Akhalgori medical institution.
The events surrounding the State Security Service in recent days are another clear proof that the agency has never been independent and served the interests of a specific party.
The creation of an investigative
commission by Georgian Dream serves to ignore the results of the international
investigation into the 2008 war and to portray the Georgian side as the main
culprit.
