The National Library of the Parliament of Georgia has a new head – Konstantine Gamsakhurdia, the son of the first President of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, will replace Giorgi Kekelidze.
When exactly Gamsakhurdia will be appointed as the head of the National Library is still unknown. Gamsakhurdia himself states that it will take “some time”.
Giorgi Kekelidze, the Director of the National Library of the Parliament of Georgia, says the Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili told him that he should leave his post because “11 years is too much” and “it’s time for renewal”.
“The Speaker of the Parliament met me and told me that I have to leave my post because 11 years is too much, even though I worked well, and it’s time for renewal. I calmly told him that legally it is up to him, but there is another law, and according to this law, this is a great injustice,” Kekelidze wrote on Facebook.
Giorgi Kekelidze has been the general director of the National Library of the Parliament of Georgia since 2012.
