Crimean parliament votes no confidence in local government

The Crimean parliament on Thursday passed a vote of no confidence in the Crimean Council of Ministers, said Olga Sulnikova, head of the information analysis department in the Crimean Supreme Council Secretariat, writes the Voice of Russia.

The resolution was favored by 55 of the 64 Crimean parliamentarians, she said.

Under the resolution, the Crimean Supreme Council has recognized the Crimean Supreme Council's performance in 2013 as unsatisfactory and expressed no-confidence in the Crimean government.

The same parliamentary resolution terminates the mandate of the Crimean Council of Ministers.

The parliament also relieved Anatoliy Mohyliov from his duties as chairman of the Crimean Council of Ministers under Article 136 of the Ukrainian Constitution.

The document was passed with immediate effect.
