The diplomatic corps are talking about the need to protect Rustavi 2`s editorial independence and media pluralism.
Another comment was made by the United States Ambassador. According to him, the judicial process should be transparent, impartial and protected from any kind of political interference.
"The most important is that the Rustavi-2 is allowed to maintain editorial independence, not to change its editorial policy in this election year and to be focused on elections. It is especially important in the case of Rustavi 2 and the absolute priority is that all political parties should have access to the media, including Rustavi 2. The trial should be open, transparent and objective and we do not want to see any kind of political interference. The electoral environment will be damaged if the country"s biggest television is closed or the management is changed, "- Ambassador Kelly said.
Turkish ambassador Levent Gümrükçü also commented on Rustavi-2 issue.
" We are watching closely Rustavi 2"s case and have constant contact with our Georgian colleagues," - said Levent Gümrükçü.
