"We should probably end all these talks about the Cyanide Case,"- Father Michael Botkoveli has made an announcement.

Father Michael Botkoveli says that the Patriarchate has spent many hours on attempts to restore the shattered image of the Patriarchate and regain the confidence of the public.

"We have a lot of work to do restore the image of the church,"- Father Botkoveli says.

Father Michael Botkoveli responds to the fact of publication of court hearings through media. As the Secretary of the Patriarch of Georgia states, the Patriarchate does not have anything to do with the publication of information. According to him, the testimony given to the court sessions was in the interest of the deacon lawyers.

According to him, It is not a Patriarchate"s demand to hold closed hearings. As Father Michael Botkoveli has stated, this was the demand of the State, not to hold public sessions.
