They plan to build two Arab cities in Georgia - Mamuka Khazaradze
Opposition Lelo party leader Mamuka Khazaradze criticizes the Eagle Hills investment.
"They plan to build two Arab cities in Georgia. In Tbilisi and Gonio, two enclaves will emerge on nearly 800 hectares. This is the size of Amsterdam’s city center or Manhattan in New York. The announced price is something only Arabs can afford, as it is impossible for Georgians today. Through this deal, we will get two populated Arab satellite cities in Batumi and Tbilisi.
The state has no role as a shareholder in a private development company. There is reasonable suspicion that we are dealing with a corrupt deal or, to put it plainly, Ivanishvili’s Arab scam! Therefore, the contract with the Arabs must be made public immediately!
I say directly: this project, in its current form, contradicts Georgia’s national security interests!
This is a crime!"- Mamuka Khazaradze.

Georgian Parliament Speaker says international order no longer exists amid US exit from global organisations
08.01.2026.17:01
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.
