The third sector responded to the release of secret telephone recordings. Part of the NGOs think that it confirms that the surveillance and tapping are continued and call on the appropriate authorities to immediately investigate the case.
"It is very important for the investigation to answer the question of the legality of the records obtained. If this record is obtained illegally and illegal tapping still continues, these people should be held accountable; this is a crime. It is important to protect the security of the state, but it is also a threat to security of the state if the government violates the law, "- said the head of the Young Lawyers Association, Ana Natsvlishvili.
NGOs estimate that these records are indicative of either government`s involvement or the weakness of the state. In this situation, as they say, most of the responsibility lies with the government.
"The position of the Ukraine"s official is not interesting and he should not interfere in the ongoing processes. The records have confirmed the threats and blackmail of Nika Gvaramia by the government ," - said the founder of Reforms Association, Helen Khoshtaria.
They asked if the authorities knew about these records, why did not they response timely . They link the spread of records with today"s trial.
"We don not see barricades and revolution , even if it were Saakashvili"s plan, members of the National Movement and the station"s management did not agree with him, because there is nothing like that on Rustavi 2` territory," - said media expert Nino Danelia.
