Parliament Vice Speaker says Investigative Commission’s report on crimes committed by former UNM Gov’t to be “fact-based, legally actionable”

Thea Tsulukiani, the Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament and Chair of the Parliament’s Temporary Investigative Commission examining crimes committed by the former United National Movement Government between 2003 and 2012, on Thursday said the Commission was set to release a report that would live up to the ambitious goals set at its inception.

In her interview with Imedi TV, Tsulukiani noted that the upcoming document would be far from mere political assessments or declarations.

“This document will be based on the analysis of facts and fact-based evaluations. Precisely this will enable any future lawsuits, other documents, or court decisions to properly utilise this conclusion”, the official said.

She further highlighted the report’s broad applicability, noting that “this will be a document usable by everyone, and the ambition we set will be satisfied”.

Tsulukiani also mentioned the Commission's efforts to make the language of the report accessible and engaging, moving away from the often bureaucratic and hermetic style typical of state documents.

She added that the Parliament and the Georgian Dream party specifically tasked the Commission with ensuring the report serves an educational function, particularly for those who, due to their age, did not witness the period under investigation.
