Georgian government cancels usage of Soviet era uniforms?

[Tretov]

This is based on a rumor / story I heard today and I would like to hear what you think.

A friend of mine with connections in the central-asia ex-USSR republics told me that the new leadership in Georgia has decided to stop the usage of old Soviet eraa uniforms as well as any uniforms inspired by ex-USSR Russia and instead develop a new uniform type, different from all old, or at least, not the same design as before.

The result would be, according to the rumor, that huge amounts of old jackets and hats would be sold out for prices cheaper than dirt.

That's the end of what I have heard. Now for some analysis:
- Do they really change it all this late? Havn't the storages been cleared out already?
- How much equip is it? Georgia is not that big. The person "who knew" talked about huge mountains of uniforms.
-It sounds too good to be true.

Has anyone else heard about this? Is it time to rent a truck and book tickets to Georgia? I have no other source than word from mouth.
