YEREVAN: Georgia’s Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze has resigned.
“The circle of development is created, therefore I have decided to resign because I think I have fulfilled my mission in this stage,” Bakhtadze said on Facebook.
“It has been a great honor and at the same time great responsibility to serve the interests of our country as Georgia’s Prime Minister. I have been and will be a member of Georgian Dream and a loyal soldier of our country,” he said.
According to Georgian law, the entire government must resign in the event of the prime minister’s resignation.
