"We have received this message from other leaders of our partners countries, their embassies. This message is translated from diplomatic language to non-diplomatic language as follows:the government should stay away from "Rustavi 2". The government should not try to prove that it was not involved in the case against Rustavi2, no one believes in the legal dispute neither inside nor outside the country, "- said Mshveneiradze.
