The Minister of Culture, who arrived at the Cartu Foundation event, insulted the journalist of the "Mtavari Channel" and called her uncouth. Se also called on the audience gathered in the theater hall to "jokingly" and cynically applaud the journalist.
Tsulukiani thanked Bidzina Ivanishvili as soon as she held the microphone in her hand, and later wanted Emma Gogokhia to make a similar statement as well
Tsulukiani also seized Emma Gogokhia's microphone and said that he was not going to return. The film crew was pulled out of the theater hall by the guards.
"Hello, I want to thank Bidzina Ivanishvili, I am on Formula TV and Ms. Emma is no longer a journalist, I am a journalist," he said.
Emma Gogokhia then asked Tsulukiani if the forceful removal of Tina Bokuchava by MP Shalva Papuashvili was violence.
"Emma, you know that you will be punished now, right? You, such an uncouth woman, had your microphone taken, they will punish you for it. Emma Gogokhia is no longer a "Formula" journalist.
Applaud Emma, applaud her, Emma, Goodbye," said Tea Tsulukiani.
After that, the security team called the film crew to leave the hall, Emma Gogokhia demanded the return of the microphone, to which Tsulukiani refused.
"Go, go, take better care of your property in the future," Tsulukiani told the journalist.
