Giorgi Gabunia, the General Director of Mtavari Arkhi, has accused the channel’s founder, Zaza Okuashvili, of attempting to further Bidzina Ivanishvili’s interests through his decisions, specifically accusing him of trying to shut down the TV station.
“Okuashvili is essentially joining the mass violence initiated by ‘Georgian Dream,’ targeting journalists with the means at his disposal,” Gabunia stated.
This accusation comes amid escalating political tensions in Georgia, where protests against the government have been met with violent repression, detentions, and attacks on journalists.
“We will continue to fight and stay on air for our viewers and the Georgian people. Not even Putin’s friend, Bidzina, can stop us,” Gabunia declared.
