UFA, 12 November 2018. /Bashinform News Agency, Galina Bakhshieva/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/. The Minister of Nature Management and Ecology Ildar Khadiyev resigned, «Kommersant-Ufa» reports.

Today, the Acting Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, instructed the government to submit a new candidate for the position of the Minister of Nature Management and Ecology of the region.
