January

[edit]
  • 7 January – A high-ranking police official pleads guilty to beating and killing a 24-year-old man on 2 January in Tbilisi, one of a series of recent major incidents of police excesses in Georgia.[1]
  • 9 January – The government of Georgia terminates its contract with the Anaklia Development Consortium on the construction of a deep sea port at Anaklia on account of the consortium's failure to provide adequate financial guarantees and to find "a real" investor. The consortium's leadership says they will take the case to an international court, while the opposition and government critics allege the ruling Georgian Dream party's leader Bidzina Ivanishvili's personal interest in suppressing the project.[2][3][4]
  • 13 January – Raul Khajimba, de facto president of breakaway Abkhazia, resigns after the opposition supporters storm the government office on 9 January and a supreme court annuls the results of the September 2019 presidential election runoff on 10 January 2020.[5]
