Rustavi 2 was one of the main topics of discussion during the high-level meetings of the Georgian delegation in the United States. The Georgian side claims that the strategic partner is content with the developments around the TV station.

Ian Kelly, US Ambassador to Georgia welcomes the recent decision to a halt the change of the channel`s management. The position that meia pluralism is essential for free elections remains unchanged.
More extensive interview Ambassador Kelly was published in the newspaper Kviris Palitra where Ambassador explains the threats that Rustavi 2"s editorial policy change may pose for the elections. According to Ian Kelly, if Rustavi 2 from supercritical becomes neutral, or in the worst case, pro-government, this will raise doubts about the unequal environment.
