The captain of Georgian football team Kakhi Kaladze in connection with the dismissal of Robert Sturua form the post of Art Director in Rustaveli State Theatre disseminates the statement.
"I even cannot hide my deep surprise, the person who created a whole époque in the Georgian theatre and cinema was instantly faired with groundless allegations.
I think the maestro will not suffer much loss himself, as he was a great personality at his post, but not the contrary. I am deeply concerned with the events in our country, when the values are so affected by the local forces...
This is a professional who is recognized all over the world and has a great influence appears to be unacceptable for the public officials. It is sad enough that the case with Mr. Robert Sturua is not the first one and will not be the last as well. When the professionals are affected with black PR, this is happening over the media directed with someone's interests.
Such hard lessons make us to recall the badly known 30's, this is very sad."
