AGYDEYA, 15 January, Caucasus Times: Adygeya’s cabinet of ministers has been entirely dismissed by President Aslanchari Tkhakushinov, the president told an extended cabinet meeting on Monday [15 January].

Speaking to reporters on the same day, the president underlined the key points of Adygeya’s development strategy for 2007. He noted that the priority task this year would be conducting a review of the economy.

“This is not for finding out who has not done well, but to see in what condition our forests, industrial enterprises, agrarian and industrial complex are,” Tkhakushinov said.

The review will be conducted very quickly, he added.

The president also confirmed that he had appointed Vladimir Samozhenkovost prime minister and Yegor Goryaynov head of the presidential administration.

Parliament Speaker Ruslan Khadzhibiyokov, who also attended the cabinet meeting, told reporters that the cabinet nominated by the president would be submitted to the State Council, or Khase, for approval this week.

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.
