ADYGEIYA, September 15, Caucasus Times, – Adygea’s President administration office issued a statement of Khazret Sovemen supporting President Putin’s recent political initiatives.

“This particular political solution is well-timed and completely adequate to the situation,” the statement reads. According to the statement “the confirming of Putin’s nominated local governors by regional legislatures will allow to strengthen the regional and local authorities and to raise the level of their accountability and effectiveness.”

The chairman of the lower chamber of Adyghea’s parliament Mukharbi Tkharkakhov has also approved Putin’s political measures in his interview with the local television station. He was quoted as saying “The nomination of regional governors by the Russian President and confirming them by local legislatures will increase significantly the role of parliaments elected by popular vote.”

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
