http://chiti.ge is a satirical site on news and politics in Georgia. It’s all in Georgian, so let’s have an automatic translation of an article, about the last visit of Sarkozy on 6 oct. 2011 , for example. Of course the best bits remain untranslatable, but we get the mood: Nicolas is going to meet a certain Sukhishvili Bairam who appears to be not so recommandable…
Yesterday, Saba, one of the founders and contributors of the satirical magazine came to a presentation at GeoAIR. He seems to be extremely well informed and has a very sharp critical sense. He said the previous version of the magazine had been banned but they immediately started a new one under another name. They don’t feel personally threatened by law, but the piles of hate-mail with occasional death threats are nerve-racking, so they got a softer edge lately. Yet they continued publishing the same type of opinions and non-official informations.
