Maestro TV Refuses to Cooperate with Police over Blast

Mamuka Glonti, an owner of Maestro TV, slammed the Interior Ministry for not qualifying an explosion of a hand-grenade at the television station’s office as “a terrorist act.”

The Interior Ministry said that the criminal charges were initiated under the article of the criminal code dealing with “damaging or destruction of object perpetrated by setting fire, explosion or by any other dangerous means.”

“They are ridiculing us; we qualify it as a terrorist act; it was not simply a deliberate damage of a building,” Glonti said.  

“Give a proper qualification,” he called on the Interior Ministry and added: “Unless a proper qualification is not given to this fact we will not cooperate with the investigation.”
