"After nearly five years of collaboration with the TV company Imedi, my tenure has come to an end. I have always believed and continue to believe that I will never endorse violence in any form! I refuse to propagate unverified information that incites violence!
Specifically, my immediate supervisor instructed me to prepare a story explicitly designed to encourage violence," stated the journalist.
Tamar Sharikadze was employed in the news segment Kronika. Natia Songhulashvili, Head of the Information Service, did not respond to her remarks.
In early May, amidst developments concerning Russian legislation, three hosts of the morning program departed from Imedi TV company.
