CHANGE OF GAMGEBELI IN LENTEKHI

2013-08-23 on August 23, during extraordinary meeting of Sakrebulo, Gamgebeli Zaza
Liparteliani was dismissed, citing his lack of competency as grounds. Sakrebulo’s
decision was protested by supporters of Gamgebeli by blocking offices of Sakrebulo for a week. Zaza Liparteliani filed in district court against Sakrebulo.
Later Sakrebulo convened secretly and appointed Gurgen Paruliani (former head of the
coalition Georgian Dream’s office) as Acting Gamgebeli. The decision was met with a
protest. Protesters occupied the building of Sakrebulo, necessitating police
interference to diffuse the tension. It has been reported that documents about
dismissal of Gamgebeli and appointment of his replacement have not officially been
registered in Sakrebulo yet.
