Post of head of Adjaria abolished
On the night of May 6-7, the Supreme Council of Adjaria made a decision to abolish the post of head of Adjaria in the autonomous republic.
Georgian Prosecutor General Irakly Okruashvili has told journalists in Batumi that the power structure in the republic will be the same as before: the Council of Ministers and the Supreme Council of Adjaria will function.
The decision made by members of the Supreme Council was the last since the decree of the president of Georgia concerning the establishment of provisional direct presidential rule in the autonomous republic comes into force already today, May 7.
