The Vice President of Georgia, Giorgi Baramidze, launched an unusual and
inexplicably hard attack against the future Eurasian Economic Union and the
unified economic area between Russia, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and
Tajikistan. The attack brought into surface the previous attempt from the
Department for Constitutional Security CSD (which is under the Ministry of
Internal Affairs) to infiltrate with spies into opposition parties like the
“For Fair Georgia”.

The Georgian Vice President called the West for direct action saying that the
proposal for the Eurasian Union is a tool from President Putin to create a
modern Soviet Union and that the West should not remain silent because these
actions from Putin threaten western interests. He also mentioned that the
effort to create a modern Soviet Union started before the conflict between
Russia and Georgia in 2008, in an attempt to link the conflict between the two
countries to the Eurasian Union. The Vice President did that in a period when
the government of Georgia faces charges for corruption, totalitarianism, etc.
from the opposition.

One of the results of the vice president’s statements was the coming back into
publicity of a series of accusations (so that the attack from the Vice
President would not push them out of the spotlight) against the Georgian
President Saakashvilly and close associates like Dato Akhalaia, CSD Chief who
is also the brother of defense Minister Bacho Akhalaia.

President Saakashvilly is accused of using secret agents to infiltrate into
political parties of the opposition in order to corrode opposing groups and
defame opposing leaders. The name of the 50 year old Rostom Tsartsidze is
mentioned as the most active person to defame the former prime minister and
leader of the party “For Fair Georgia”, Zurab Noghaideli, in order
to remove
him from party leadership. Dato Akhalaia personally handled Tsartsidze (whose
code name was “Patriot”). Tsartsidze was responsible for the party
organization in the Chiatura territory since 2008. Dato Akhalaia is said to
have supplied him with money and guidance in order to rise in the hierarchy
and enforce his influence in the party.

Seven peripheral organizations met in December 2010 in the “Prime
Time” press
center of Tbilisi in order to publicly accuse Noghaideli for money
embezzlement and frequent visits to Russia. He was finally removed from party
leadership and in January 2011 the Ministry of Justice approved the creation
of a new board of directors. During the large protests against President
Saakashvilly in May 2011
(http://www.farosradio.gr/en/faros-news/item/1495.html), Tsartsidze is accused
of warning the Ministry of Interior on the time and location of the protests,
so that Saakashvilly would be a
