It looks like the Georgian reporters were right when they predicted very serious property redistribution after the death of one of the Arab sheikhs who owned a sea port and an
airport in the Georgian city of Poti. You see it’s turned out that he also controlled some illegal businesses like drug
trade, prostitution, arms
trade and even enriched uranium smuggling! It’s believed the Georgian authirities as well as her president Saakashvili were all
head over ears in it. Probably it’s so... at least I can see no other way how to set a thing like that without Saakashvili’s knowing it.
Well to cut it short, the result it that I wouldn’t advise anyone to go to Poti now, while some say it’s better to keep out of
Georgia at all. You see, when our ship was leaving the damned port in Poti lots of squads of the Georgian cops was patrolling the streets but anyway they couldn’t keep the situation under control. Actually they couldn’t protect themselves let alone other people. In fact our
captain says it may well be even worse now in
Georgia than it was afterthe murder of Badri Patarkatsishvili when there was total chaos really. All in all it’s indeed pretty nasty...
