"First of all, I want to start with thanks. I thank a lot to our team. The team of the Ministry, with whom I worked for 3 years. It was a great honor for me to have the trust that the team has shown me. For 3 years I served in this high, honorable position, I was the Minister of Economy of the country. These have been difficult years, but most importantly, a very solid foundation has been laid for our economy to recover and grow rapidly.

Now comes a period of new initiatives, new challenges. I am sure that Levan Davitashvili, with his dedication, experience and professionalism will manage everything at a very high level and will be one of the successful ministers of economy,” - Turnava said.
