New wave of aggressive pressure on media starts| Special statement of Nika Gvaramia at the Prosecutor's Office

According to Nika Gvaramia, CEO of the Mtavari Channel, the behavior of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture, Tea Tsulukiani, is a direct signal that a new wave of violent actions against the media is beginning.

Nika Gvaramia spoke about this topic at a special briefing at the Prosecutor's Office, where he held the microphones of 4 critical media outlets - "Mtavari Channel", "Formula", "TV Pirveli" and "Caucasus".

 “Seizing  of our microphone, the yesterday's violence, which implies  two crimes, by First Deputy Prime Minister Tsulukiani, is another source of inspiration for attacking journalists encouraging another wave of violence, openly direct and absolutely cynical.
I am holding all four microphones because the seizure of our microphone was completely conditional, instead it could have been a Formula microphone, a TV Pirveli microphone, a Caucasus microphone, we are under attack today, uninterrupted, under attack for 24-hours, doing our professional duty under constant bullying, insults, physical confrontations. [...]

t's very difficult for me to comment on Ms. Tsulukiani's unexpected behavior, I haven't thought much about it, but now we see that this man, like the orc government behind him, is putting his best foot forward, it's a fact. Oddly enough, that fact is a very dangerous and a direct signal that, "Yes, a new wave of violent attacks on the media is beginning," said Nika Gvaramia
