It was the second item on the agenda. The first was the election of a speaker for the new parliament. Now the speaker is Nino Burdzhanadze, who was the speaker of the previous parliament in the times of Eduard Shevardnadze's presidency. Between his removal from power and the election of Mikhail Saakashvili as the head of state, she was the acting president.
The president and the government of Georgia are to ensure a single constitution environment in the entire territory of Georgia, including Adzharia, says the parliamentary resolution.
The parliament also demands from the Prosecutor General's Office immediate reaction to breach of law in the autonomy. The interior and state security ministers have been recommended very soon to develop a plan for disbanding the illegal armed groups and disarming the population. The Foreign Ministry has been instructed to inform world public of the real situation in Adzharia.
During its first workday, the new parliament of Georgia has also adopted an amendment to the deputy-immunity law. Now the General Prosecutor's Office is entitled without parliamentary permission to initiate a criminal case against a parliamentarian and even arrest him. The law-enforcement agencies may not search a deputy's property without parliamentary permission.
