Vakhtang Tsereteli, Founder of TV Pirveli, has released a statement regarding the letter published by Prosecutor’s Office.

According to Vakhtang Tsereteli, the TV Company perceives the letter content as the desire to impose control on the independent and unbiased TV channel. He said that in the 11-year old case against Khazaradze his companies and initials are also mentioned.

“I am the owner of 100% of TV Pirveli shares. I would like to once again tell the public that TV Pirveli is funded by own sources of income and these sources of income are transparent.

The channel’s editorial independence is defined by this TV station and its journalists. The editorial policy of the channel does not subordinate to any political or another kind of outlook and “trend”, which is confirmed by the conclusions of international and local organizations and reputation of journalists working on this channel.

The TV station will continue its independent editorial policy and it will never change according to the political calendar,” Tsereteli said.
