Georgian reporter recognized footage captured by him during a 2010 feature work in Afghanistan in the recently released controversial YouTube video containing threats against the Georgian armed forces of the ISAF mission by supposed jihadist forces. Temur Kighuradze, who prepared a feature from Afghanistan for PIK TV three years ago, released a statement on his blog saying his footage was featured in the newly released video starting from 1 minute 30 seconds.
Kighuradze said his suspicions regarding the video were drawn by the fact that the footage did not feature the PIK logo, which supposedly meant authors of the video had been provided with raw footage material without the television logo. Kighuradze said the PIK TV video archive was presently stored in Public Broadcasting Channel 1 offices.
The Public Broadcaster statement regarding the case said in response that the television channel was only in possession of aired PIK TV material, while original raw footage was still stored in the PIK offices.
