Rustavi 2"s lawyer, Dmitry Sadzaglishvili explained that Rustavi 2 Director General Nika Gvaramia was summoned for questioning as a witness but because of the lack of confidence in the Interior Ministry he decided not to go..

Lawyer Dmitry Sadzaglishvili said that their side is ready to cooperate, but not directly with the "biased" Interior Ministry.

"The reason for distrust is the fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a statement that the forensic expertise confirmed the authenticity of the audio recording," - said Dmitry Sadzaglishvili.

Rustavi2 lawyer also pointed out that he had personally heard the full version of the recording and that the conclusion of the expertise presented by the Interior Ministry is false.

According to Sadzaglishvili, the investigation is biased, as the people who have heard the complete record have not been questioned.

Dmitry Sadzaglishvili refrained from naming the third participant of the conversation.

Rustavi 2"s lawyer said that the pressure on the Supreme Court judges is directly , connected to Rustavi 2 case , because they are to discuss the case within the Grand chamber while the government is doing evrything in order to seize Rustavi 2.
