The Government of Georgia denies the information about abolishment of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture.

The Prime Minister's press office has released a statement regarding the information disseminated by some media outlets yesterday, and noted the document on the cancellation of the ministry was "fake".

“Yesterday, on August 19, media outlets received a false document about the reform implemented in the Ministry of Environment. It seems that the act aimed to discredit the government and was a provocation. Unfortunately, some media outlets yielded to this provocation. The Prime Minister’s press office is in constant coordination with media outlets and the colleagues always can check or/and receive desirable information,” the statement reads.

The PM’s press office calls on media outlets to be guided by the information received from their official e-mail address - pressoffice@gov.ge and do not rely on fake documents in order to avoid dissemination of false information.
