Georgian parliament to vote on confidence in renewed government

TBILISI. July 21 (Interfax) - The reshuffles in the Georgian government, which affected six ministers and one state minister, require the country's parliament to declare a vote on confidence in the new government.

Throughout this week the Georgian president will be introducing the new ministers to the parliament, the government's parliamentary secretary Shalva Tadumadze told journalists on Monday.

"The parliament will have two weeks to consider the issue of voting on confidence on the renewed government," Tadumadze said.

The whole process will take maximum 14 days, he said. "It could end in two days, or in 14 days," the parliamentary secretary said.

Earlier on Monday the Georgian prime minister, Irakli Garibashvili, announced new government appointments.
