STEPANAKERT, JULY 27, ARTSAKHPRESS: As stated by Bakhtadze, this decision to relieve some governors from their posts is connected with the creation of a new structure of regional administration headed by former Minister for Refugees Sozar Subari.
According to him, this structure will allow the government to have a direct connection with the population of the regions and to implement regional projects efficiently.
To note, Bakhtadze reshuffled the Cabinet earlier this month and reduced the number of 14 ministries to 11. He also appointed three new ministers.
