In addition, this week Tbilisi city court released Rusudan Kervalishvili, Maia Rcheulishvili and Ivane Tsaguria on bail. Mark mentions the investigation of Interior Ministry about Mamuka Mikautadze suicide and also discusses the Presidential candidates too, emphasizing that Paata Burchulaze refused to participate in the elections.
Other topics of the week are: Tbilisi’s water park was burned; Tea Tsulukiani refused to dismiss Kbilashvili despite Saakashvili’s request; Court sentenced Tengiz Gunava 4 years imprisonment; Irakli Alasania about Sochi security and much more – so sit back and enjoy.
The original audio podcast version of this content can be found at TBLpod.com, recorded locally on Rustaveli Avenue. Each week Mark and his excellent team of researchers, experts and analysts put together a summary of what has happened in Georgia and why. Years of experience and contacts in this country help them provide a context for the news each week. Their discussions give a uniquely candid perspective, which is difficult to find anywhere else, even in Georgian, and which [we must note] is their personal opinion and not that of any organization or company they or we may work for or represent, including Palitra. For this reason Mark and his team have an audience from all over the world and, even more interestingly, a devoted audience of Georgian listeners interested in their outlook on current events. Thanks for tuning in. Please come back next week.
