Minister of Culture stepped down from her position. As Tamar Rukhadze explained, she requires a special course of medical treatment that will prevent her from fully carrying out her ministerial duties.

“After consulting with the Prime Minister, I have made the decision to leave the position of Minister of Culture. Due to my health condition, I will need to undergo a special course of treatment, because of which I will not be able to properly perform the duties of a minister. Culture is a field that requires special care and attention. I regret that my health condition does not allow me to devote the appropriate attention to the work that I love so much and that is the most precious to me.

I want to thank the Prime Minister for the trust shown to me.

I thank each member of the government for their support and solidarity.

I thank everyone who supported our initiatives. Special thanks to each employee of the Ministry of Culture for their tireless work and loyal service.

I remain your supporter and wish you success!”, - writes Tamar Rukhadze.
