It is not within my competence - Tsulukiani when asked about the punishment of the organizers of the July 5 violence

Minister of Culture Tea Tsulukiani says assessing the investigation into the July 5 events is "not within her competence". Tea Tsulukiani does not answer the main questions of the journalists towards her, but cynically talks to the journalist of the "Mtavari Channel": "Wow, how strict are you? Your imitation of me is talentless" - Tsulukiani said

Tea Tsulukiani does not speak about July 5 and does not say when the main organizers of the July 5 violence will be punished, saying that it will happen "when the investigation is over."

"When the investigation is over ... it is not within my competence," She said.

Tsulukiani did not answer whether it is within her competence to seize a microphone for a journalist, as for her husband's post, Tsulukiani said, "at least leave him alone."

Tsulukiani did not specify to the journalists where the "Mtavari channel" microphone is and when she will return it.

The Minister of Culture is not the only one from the government who did not want to make comments to journalists. Irakli Gharibashvili did not answer the main questions of the media representatives either.

Other members of the majority did not want to talk to the media either. Representatives of the ruling team continue to boycott critical media.
