Nino Burjanadze, a Georgian opposition frontrunner and
former parliament speaker, is reportedly cooperating with
Armenians. Burjanadze, who was previously linked to pro-Armenian
forces, is now said to be an honorary member of a foundation formally
defending the neighboring South Caucasus republics interests in the
region. According to the Georgia Online news portal, the former speaker
sits on the steering board of the Sivilitas foundation established by
the former Armenian foreign minister Vardan Oskanian. It is of note
that Burjanadze has not dismissed the reports. Burjanadzes spokesperson
confirmed her representation in the Sivilitas leadership but said
she had been estranged due to her chairing a political party. Under
Georgian laws, a party leader cannot be part of a non-governmental
organization.
