Sokhumi Restricts Inheritance for Those Who Aided, Fought with Tbilisi during War
According
to the local news agency Apsnypress, the law bars 'foreign nationals, stateless persons, and their family members' from inheriting property if they are considered to have supported Georgian armed formations or aided what the legislation describes as the 'occupation regime of the State Council of Georgia,' including in the 1992-1993 war.
The 1992–1993 war in Abkhazia was fought between Georgian government forces and Abkhaz separatists, who were backed by Russian troops and North Caucasus militants. Georgia lost control of the region following the fall of Sokhumi to separatist forces on September 27, 1993.

Ukraine signs gas deal with Azerbaijan's SOCAR

For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas company Naftogaz has signed its first deal with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) to import natural gas via the Trans-Balkan route. Naftogaz announced the deal via a press release on Monday. 'This is a small volume but strategically important step that paves the way for long-term cooperation. It is also another example of diversifying supply sources and strengthening Ukraine's energy security', the CEO of Naftogaz, Serhii Koretskyi, said. In the press release, Naftogaz also extended its gratitude to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the Ukrainian government, and Ukraine's Energy Ministry 'for their support in reaching this agreement', as well as to its Azerbaijani colleagues 'for their trust'. Ukraine announced the new Trans-Balkan route through Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova in May 2025 'Having phased out Russian energy carriers, Ukraine, like our partners in the EU, is actively working to find alternative gas supply routes. The use of the Trans-Balkan route is important in this context', a press release by Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said at the time. A source told Reuters in June that the new route could allow Ukraine to import up to 1 billion cubic metres of gas between June–October 2025, with a daily import capacity of 7,000 cubic metres. Advertisement The Ukrainian government reportedly previously announced that the country needed to import at least 4 billion cubic metres of gas for the 2025–2026 heating season. As part of its effort to shift away from dependency on Russian energy, the EU has increasingly turned toward Azerbaijan. However, there are concerns that Azerbaijan still works to launder Russian fossil fuels to be sold in the European market. Previously, in May, the UK sanctioned a state-owned Azerbaijani tanker as part of efforts to block Russia's oil trading shadow fleet. An investigation by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) found that the ship in question, the Zangazur, was owned by the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and that the Azerbaijani government owned the entirety of the company's shares. Based on shipping data, the OCCRP recorded the Zangazur paying regular visits to the Russian port of Primorsk, west of Saint Petersburg, which features an oil terminal, as well as to the Turkish port of Nemrut, where Azerbaijan's state-owned STAR oil refinery is located. According to data collected by the advocacy group Global Witness, Azerbaijan's STAR refinery processed a large amount of Russian crude oil in 2024. 'The vast majority of STAR products imported by the EU this year have likely been made from Russian oil', Global Witness stated in a July 2024 report. Such imports follow a 2022 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), according to which Azerbaijan would double its supply of gas to the EU, which would allegedly, as European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen highlighted at the time, 'compensate for cuts in supplies of Russian gas and contribute significantly to Europe's security of supply'.

Ex-Defense Ministry Officials, Ex-Minister's Relative Arrested on Embezzlement Charges
The State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) arrested former Deputy Defense Minister Giorgi Khaindrava, the former head of the Defense Ministry's procurement department, and a relative of ex-Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze on charges of embezzling a large sum of money from the ministry. The arrests come amid a series of prosecutions and controversies involving former Georgian Dream officials and business associates, as the ruling party intensifies its anti-corruption rhetoric, while critics point to possible internal power struggles and waves of retribution. According to the SSSG, a coordinated group executed a criminal scheme in 2023 that resulted in the embezzlement of GEL 1,333,728 (approximately USD 500,000) from the state budget. 'The group conducted the procurement of medical equipment without actually carrying out real market research,' Emzar Gagnidze, head of the SSSG's Anti-Corruption Agency, stated during the July 27 briefing . The SSSG stated that the group ensured only 'interconnected' companies 'closely linked' to Burchuladze's relative were allowed to participate in the procurement process, which was deliberately structured to inflate the price of medical equipment through sham transactions involving private firms and same-day tax documentation. 'As a result, the Georgian Defense Ministry carried out the procurement of medical equipment at a price significantly above market value,' Gagnidze said. He highlighted an 'important circumstance,' noting that the then-defense minister's close relative had assured the pre-selected companies of a 'guaranteed win,' citing his connections to 'relevant officials.' The detained individuals now face 7 to 11 years in prison on charges of large-scale embezzlement committed by a group in prior agreement and through abuse of official position, under Articles 182 (2-a,d) and 182 (3-b) of the Criminal Code of Georgia. Although former Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze was not directly named, the alleged crime took place during his tenure, which lasted from 2021 to 2024. In February 2024, shortly after Burchuladze's resignation, Mtavari Arkhi channel reported that the SSSG had begun questioning his deputy, Giorgi Khaindrava, and Vladimer Ghudushari, head of the procurement department, both of whose initials match those mentioned in the SSSG's July 27 briefing. While independent corruption watchdogs have long highlighted suspected corruption in state agencies—often involving preferential procurement schemes—the Georgian Dream government has stepped up its crackdown on alleged corruption cases only in recent months. In June, SSSG also arrested ex-Deputy Economy Minister Romeo Mikautadze on corruption-related charges. The crackdown also involves legislative moves, including a bill pending in the Georgian Dream parliament, which foresees radical measures against those convicted of financial crimes. Also Read:

Georgia denies entry to person with no gender marker in passport, accuses them of ‘falsifying' ID
Sign in or or Become a member to unlock the audio version of this article Join the voices Aliyev wants to silence. For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member A German citizen holding a passport without a gender marker has been denied entry into Georgia for allegedly 'falsifying' their identification and failing to provide other information. Lian von Salzen was travelling from Trabzon, Turkey, intending to cross the Turkish–Georgian land border on Sunday before continuing on to Batumi, Georgia. While they passed through the Turkish border smoothly, they were held up at the Georgian border after handing over their passport to the border official. 'He looked at it for a long time and then he went to his colleague and they were kind of chuckling a bit, laughing', von Salzen told OC Media. 'I realised then that something was wrong with the passport'. As of 1 November 2024, German citizens have been able to more easily change official records to alter their names and genders, or to have their gender marker removed altogether. When von Salzen applied for a new passport prior to travelling, they requested this option — instead of an M or F in their passport, the sex is marked by an X. The border official then asked von Salzen a series of questions regarding where they would be staying while in Georgia, including the full name and phone number of the person they would be staying with. Von Salzen then was faced with a series of officials asking questions before they were eventually handed a paper which said they were being rejected entry into Georgia for the following reasons: Advertisement The person has no travel/health insurance or sufficient funds for residing in Georgia or returning back The person has not provided information or provided false information about 'his/her identity' and purpose of travel When the border officials asked von Salzen to sign the document, they refused as they did not fully understand what was happening due to the language barriers or agree with the reasoning provided. 'They never asked for my health insurance or any bank account', von Salzen said, noting that they tried to show them that they did indeed have the required insurance and funds. 'I feel like it was maybe just an excuse', they said. As for the second reason listed — the falsification of identity — von Salzen believes it was due to the X marker in their passport. However, they noted that they were never asked a question about gender, so 'it wasn't explicit'. After repeating that what was listed on the document was not true, a border official came up to von Salzen and escorted them away. While von Salzen at first thought they were being taken to an interrogation room where they could sort everything out, they were instead taken back to the Turkish border. Von Salzen now plans to appeal the decision, especially after their host back in Turkey emphasised that it could be viewed as a political decision. 'I'm not going to Georgia anymore, but maybe if I speak up, something can be done in the future for other people', they said. According to lawyer Nika Simonishvili, any refusals regarding entry to Georgia must be based on specific circumstances and evidence — however, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Georgian legal system have given the border police 'broad powers', leading to cases of unjustified refusal and abuse of rights. In this case, Simonishvili emphasised to OC Media, the X gender marker cannot be considered incorrect or false information, especially when it is allowed by the legislation of another country and the border police have the ability to identify the person in question. 'Thus, the decision to ban border crossing for this reason cannot be considered legally justified by any criteria and can be viewed only in a political context, as a continuation of [the ruling Georgian Dream party's] anti-LGBT policy', Simonishvili said. OC Media has reached out to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but has not received a response as of publication. The International Civil Aviation Organisation, which sets the global standards for machine-readable passports, has allowed an X designation since the Second World War, though this was for circumstances where the sex was 'unknown' due to the lack of face-to-face issuance of documents. The first person to use the X marker in order to be recognised as neither male nor female was intersex Australian Alex MacFarlane — today, seven countries in Europe, including Germany, as well as Canada, the US, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Australia, and New Zealand offer option X to passport holders.
