Georgia, Tbilisi, Feb.5 / Trend corr N. Kirtzkhalia / The human rights center appealed to the National Commission on Communications to learn the reason of limitation of Russian TV channels in Georgia. Russian channels operated in Georgia till the August conflict, a source in the current NGO said. 

"Cable companies took into account the interest of citizens to Russian channels and included those channels to the service pack. During the August conflict and after, all companies renounced Russian channels and don't name the reason. This act generates serious suspicion that they may implement orders of some people.

"We are appealing to you [National commission on communications] with request to give an irrefragable answer to the question: What is the reason for limitation of Russian information channels," the written request of the NGO states.
