“I was undergoing treatment in Germany, where I went on the recommendation of the president for examination after a surgery I had,” Tashiev noted.
However, yesterday I learned about my dismissal, and it came as a complete surprise to me.Tashiev added that, despite his personal feelings, he respects the president's decision. “I have proudly served my people and my country. I am upset that I did not have the opportunity to say goodbye to my colleagues,” he emphasized.
In his address, he also thanked the employees of the State Committee for National Security and wished them success.
“Our country needs peace and stability, and no one should resort to illegal actions. We will act strictly within the framework of the law,” Tashiev noted.
