Georgian Minister defends Eagle Hills project, calls criticism “incomprehensible” against Georgia’s largest-ever investment
David Songhulashvili, Georgia’s Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, on Monday said it was “surprising” that any Georgian citizen would not welcome an investment of such scale, responding to criticism surrounding the Eagle Hills development.
In his remarks, Songhulashvili noted that the project was unprecedented for independent Georgia, bringing new jobs and substantial economic benefits.
“This is the largest investment in independent Georgia, implemented by the world’s third-largest development company. It will create additional jobs and new opportunities both near Tbilisi and in the Adjara region. The project brings new employment, strong economic impact, and, alongside all this, new recreational spaces - a modern, European-style settlement. The comments and criticism we hear on this matter are simply unimaginable”, he said.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Sunday commented on the Eagle Hills project, saying that when an investment initiative brings tangible benefits for the country’s development, it is not surprising that Georgia’s ill-wishers from abroad mobilise their networks to act against it.

Georgian Parliament Speaker says international order no longer exists amid US exit from global organisations

Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili on Thursday commented on the United States’ withdrawal from dozens of international organisations, saying that this once again confirms what the Georgian Government has been saying - that the international order no longer exists.
“When we assess the process as a whole, the fact that the United States has exited 66 organisations in itself once again confirms what we have been saying - that the international order created after World War II, which includes membership in various international organisations and the discussion of issues within their frameworks, no longer exists and has been disrupted”, the Speaker said.
He noted that when the United States withdraws from such organisations and justifies its decision by labeling them as ineffective and wasteful, it inevitably undermines their credibility and seriousness.
“When the United States is not a member of such organisations and leaves them with the justification that they are useless and wasteful, this naturally shows that their credibility has already been called into question”, he continued.
He emphasised that the US decision once again supports the view that the existing international order has effectively ceased to function.
