At the current session in the Tbilisi Court of Appeals, the imprisoned CEO of the "Mtavari Channel" addressed his employees:
"The first thing I want to say is that I don't want to be sentimental. I miss my family, children, it's been about 5 months and this is my main sorrow. My second grief is not any lesser. This is my channel, our channel and as long as I see the cameraman and the journalist of "Mtavari" in this hall, I'm really much better than before, I'm not bad, but I'm definitely better, although I want to tell my people that they don't owe anyone anything, and they don't owe me anything, and first of all, I don't speak for others, I owe them, myself. So I can't make any appeals. It goes without saying. I can only say thank you, express that I will be indebted to you all my life and with all my life, but once again, without any appeal, I tell you once again that You are not in debt to anyone. That's true, and certainly not to me," Nika Gvaramia said.
