"Georgia will soon resemble Putin`s Russia and Kadyrov`s Chechnya ," -and that will happen , as Nika Rurua says, if the population does not protect Rustavi 2 TV and the government manages to bring to the end the ongoing process.

"I think they want to strangle Rustavi 2 and this, in my opinion, will not happen by physical intrusion into TV station. This will happen by means of handling the TV station to the new owner , as Putin did to NTV in 2000 . Georgia will be like Putin`s Russia and Kadyrov`s Chechnya. That is such a hellish scenario . Rustavi 2 is the guarantee against it today. Though Rustavi 2should be protected by the state , "- Rurua said.
