GEORGIAN PARLIAMENT ADOPTED LAW ON STATUS OF AJARIA
In balance with the new Law, on presentation of the Georgian President, the parliament of Georgia will approve the Premier who is considered the first person of Ajaria. The president will be invested with powers to dissolve parliament of Ajaria, whereas Georgian Parliament has the right to annul the laws adopted by parliament of Ajaria.
In contrast to previous structures, creation of ministries of sectary and defense in the government of Ajaria is also considered inadmissible.
Representatives of opposition in the Georgia Parliament were against the law on status of Ajaria. In their opinion, the Parliament set up in Ajaria strict authoritative power, which contradicts democracy. In accordance with the legislation, Ajaria is also a region of Georgia as Kakheti, Imereti, Kartli, Guria.
In contrast to Abkhazia and South Osetia, the Ajaria Autonomy has been established not on the national-ethnic sign. In the 1995 Constitution of Georgia, the state language in Abkhazia together with the Georgian language was announced the Abkhazian language. From this point of view, it is expected that after complete ensuring territorial integrity of Georgia, the status of Ajarian Autonomy will differ from the status of Abkhazia and South Osetia.
