Mystery as senior ruling party MP disappears

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF version

A senior United National Movement MP, Givi Targamadze, has not been seen in parliament, where he chairs the defence and security committee, for two months.

And, reports the Pirweli news agency, while the official story is that he is on a "mission" the agency reports that Davit Janiashvili, the head of the parliament's administration, knows he is in Tbilisi.

Targamadze has deep roots in the UNM and is one of the most hardline supporters of President Mikheil Saakashvili: he was one of the founders of the Liberty Institute, claimed those who called for Vano Merabishvili's resignation over his ministry's involvement in the murder of Sandro Girgvliani were in league with organised crime and in May claimed he knew who had financed the "coup" at Mukhrovani military base on May 5.

His disappearence has coincided with the shambolic prosecution of those alleged to have mutinied.
