Adjara. At the initiative of the Civic Advisors' Council, on January 18 the Batumi Civic Engagement Center has hosted the public discussion over the location of MemedAbashidze's monument. Results of the public opinion poll conducted by the Advisors' Council were presented at the meeting. The study aimed to identify potential locations, where the citizens interested in this issue would like to move the monument. The issue has caused harsh debates as the invited guests had different opinions. Part of the attendees believed that the monument should be located in the 6 May Park of Batumi, while the other part found this Park to be inappropriate. Finally the meeting participants came to the conclusion that a broad-scale public opinion poll should be carried out in the city, and the competent commission should be guided by the results of such poll when making the decision. Members of the "Architects' Council", CSO and media organizations, the Adjara Union of Writers, representatives of the self-governing city Batumi's Sakrebulo/City Hall, Supreme Council of the Adjara AR, students and other interested citizens have attended the meeting.
