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.
