From March 1, Public Broadcaster will broadcast in the languages of national minorities in the new format. Ethnic minorities will have an oportunity to get news in their native language. Director General of Georgian Public Broadcaster Giorgi Chanturia spoke about it at a briefing after a meeting with representatives of non-governmental organizations dealing with national minorities' problems.

According to him, news program "Moambe" was broadcasted for ethnic minorities once a week up to now. This time is inconvenient. Chanturia thinks that this is not enough. Conducted research confirmed it. From March 1 news for minorities will be broadcasted daily.

According to him, the research conducted in Marneuli and Akhalkalaki showed that there is great demand on cognitive programs among ethnic minorities. They also want talk-show "Our Yard" to be broadcasted in their native language. This desire will be taken into account.

"The main purpose of the new format is promptly informing of national minorities", General Director of Public Broadcaster said.
