Georgian Ambassador to Russia Resigns

Irakli Chubinishvili, Georgia?s ambassador to Russia, has resigned, the Georgian Foreign Ministry has confirmed.

Although there has been no official confirmation, Erosi Kitsmarishvili, the founder and former owner of Rustavi 2 TV, is widely expected to be appointed as the new ambassador.

Kitsmarishvili sold his shares in Rustavi 2 TV in 2004. Last year, he briefly served as a consultant at the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), but quit after apparently falling out with GPB Director-General Tamar Kintsurashvili.
