Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Nogaideli said he had decided to dismiss Foreign Minister Salome Zurabishvili after consultations with President Mikhail Saakashavili and parliament. “Georgia has a rather successful foreign policy. We owe it to the president, the government, the parliament, to our entire political team. Of late, the parliament had many concrete complaints about the foreign minister, concerning appointment violations and untimely implementation of some of the decisions,” the prime minister told a briefing on Wednesday. “We held consultations the whole day in order to find a way out of the situation. The parliament was critical of the foreign minister, but Salome Zurabishvili’s tone with regard to the parliament was unacceptable in democratic society. This and other factors led to the decision on her dismissal,” Nogaideli said. (Itar-Tass)
