PM introduces new Interior Minister Sulkhan Tamazashvili to Ministry staff

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze introduced the newly appointed Minister of Internal Affairs Sulkhan Tamazashvili to the staff of the ministry.

The head of government thanked former Interior Minister Geka Geladze for his work and wished him success in his future role.

“I would like to thank Geka Geladze for the significant work he has carried out over the past incomplete year, which has brought important progress in the fight against crime. These 11 months have been exceptionally successful for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were numerous challenges in various areas, including crime, drug-related offenses, and organized crime, and we were able to fundamentally improve the situation.

We have achieved tangible and substantial results in all directions. I would like to express my special gratitude to him and his team. I am confident that Geka Geladze will be just as successful in the State Security Service as he was during his tenure as Minister of Internal Affairs,” the Prime Minister said.

Kobakhidze noted that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a strong and capable leader.

“As Chairman of the Government of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, Sulkhan Tamazashvili implemented fundamental reforms, organized governance systems, and laid the foundation for numerous new projects. This demonstrates that, beyond his experience within the Ministry of Internal Affairs system, Sulkhan Tamazashvili is a versatile and effective leader.

I am confident that the progress achieved in recent months will continue successfully, and that his leadership will contribute to even greater accomplishments in the future,” Kobakhidze stated.
