Basil Kobakhidze: Speculation with Fasting and Religion is Characteristic Feature of Denouncer and Clown Gia Gachechiladze

December 10, 2009
According to former archpriest Basil Kobakhidze, leaders of TV-company “Maestro” played dirty game by manipulating with religion. Kobakhidze considers the fact, that he was invited to the program “Cell#5” by Gia Gachechiladze and before TV-program started he was told Gachechiladze was not allowed by his priest to converse with him; so Kobakhidze did not visit the program.

“It is strange, who was breaking into this Gachechiladze’s cell?! I never ask anybody to invite me, but if I am invited I always accept despite my personal attitude to the program or its author. Producer of the TV-program Magda called me and asked to come to the program on December7. After this she called me and explained that Gia Gachechiladze was not allowed to converse with him because his priest did not allow him to meet me during the fast. Gachechiladze did not speak to me. I consider this fact as a personal offence. They treat me like a sin, with whom nobody should talk. I am wonder if Gacheciladze was allowed by the priest to invite other guests and to attack on police?!” said Kobakhidze.

Besides, according to Kobakhidze, he called Gacheciladze’s priest - archpriest Aleksandre Galdava, which has been his friend since childhood. The Priest refused that he prohibited his spiritual son to converse with Kobakhidze.

“Father Aleksandre has not told similar thing to Gia Gachechiladze. This was a dirty game -speculation with religion, which is generally characteristic of denouncer and clown Gachechiladze. I think this was a joint decision of TV-presenter Erosi Kitsmarishvili and Mamuka Ghlonti, who discredit both the TV-program and father Aleksandre” added Kobakhidze.

According to Gia Gachechiladze, his priest did not allow him to converse with Kobakhidze, after which he decided to stop broadcasting of “Cell#5” until the Christmas fast ends. According to him, invitation of Basil Kobakhidze was his own decision which he changed after visiting his priest.

According to the author of the program, he will invite Kobakhidze after the fast, though former archpriest is not going to visit him in future.

Leaders of TV-company do not make any comments about the incident. According to Mamuka Ghlonti, he could not add anything to the released information”. And according to Erosi Kitsmarishvili, he is abroad for a week and he has no information about Basil Kobakhidze’s visit to the TV-program.
