I am not a side in this process, Even Rustavi 2 is not a side. The side is TV company Sakartvelo and I have noting to do with that,"- Nika Gvaramia said.

 

" I appeal to Eka Beselia. Despite her low legal qualification, which is well known, she should know that the recusal applies on sides involved in the process and not individuals,  linked to the process,"- Nika Gvaramia said.
