The speeches of some Western politicians and activists about the former Garabagh conflict and Armenians remind Animal Farm, a satirical allegorical novella. As is known, in the said novella great British author George Orwell starts a revolt of animals which tears down the old order and creates a new world order for animals. Animals take the power and try to live in peace and dignity according to the new laws adopted by themselves. However, pigs usurp the power and step by step change the provisions of the law and establish their dictatorship. Finally, they changed the provision which reads “all animals are equal” into “animals are equal but some animals are more equal.”
Zourabichvili contests election results
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court demanding the annulment of the final results of the October 26 parliamentary elections.
Citing violations of the principles of universality and ballot secrecy, Salome Zourabichvili seeks to have the contested norms regulating the elections and the resulting outcomes declared unconstitutional.
The court will decide within three days whether to register the lawsuit, after which a hearing date will be announced. The case must be reviewed within 30 days.
Constitutional expert Vakhtang Menabde is sceptical that the court will rule in favour of the lawsuit. However, he notes that the review process could still benefit the opposition by delaying the newly elected parliament’s ability to commence work for about a month.
Menabde explains that parliament cannot recognise the mandates of deputies whose election legitimacy is under judicial review.
“If the number of such deputies exceeds 51, the parliament cannot fully assume its authority. In this case, the legitimacy of all 150 deputies is being contested,” he notes.
The president’s lawsuit to the Constitutional Court is a key element of her anti-crisis plan, which also includes appointing a new Central Election Commission and holding fresh elections.
Zourabichvili further proposes the creation of a special court for resolving election disputes and introducing amendments to the electoral code.
In her view, these steps must be implemented with the support and participation of international partners.

Former FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner said if President-elect Trump chooses loyalist and former Trump administration aide Kash Patel to lead the FBI, it would do “massive damage” to the agency.
“Putting someone like Kash Patel in the position of director of the FBI is, I believe, extremely, extremely dangerous because … his resume isn’t traditional,” Brunner said Sunday on CNN.
Brunner later added that Patel “has no experience leading an organization, no less a Cub Scout pack.”
Reports have surfaced that Trump is eyeing Patel for the position and may fire current FBI Director Christopher Wray after the president-elect takes power.
Patel, who was the chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, has defended Trump and testified on behalf of the president-elect against states that were considering taking him off the ballot due to Jan. 6.
Patel works as an adviser to Trump for national security issues and as a board member for Trump’s media company.
In the interview Sunday, Brunner noted that Patel “clearly stated” he wants to seek revenge on those who investigated Trump and his allies.

“He will conduct a massive amount of damage to the interior of the FBI,” he said.
Brunner noted there will be hundreds of employees who are “unjustly fired.” Patel’s potential appointment would mean he’s in charge of “tens of thousands” of employees, including special agents, analysts and “everyone that is enforcing the law” federally.
“So, I think he’ll be very, very dangerous,” Brunner added.
The Hill has reached out to the Trump transition team for comment.
