Our respondent has been seen on TV for many years. However, for years he appeared in Iberia TV with interesting journalistic investigations. As her colleagues say, the doors were not closed for Sophie… there was no road she could not cross. When they did not let him out of the door, he would come out of the chimney. Many investigators envied him for his insight and investigative journalism. After the closure of Iberia TV, he set up his own investigative studio, but disappeared without a trace for almost 14 years.
Many years later, Sophio Kobidze speaks to us:
– Sophie, how are you, where are you, what are you doing, where did you lose us? Ask Questions…
– I have not been in Georgia for almost a century, I live for myself, silently, quietly and silently, with pains and longings.
– Or are you no longer in journalism?
– Unfortunately, no more…
– Do not you miss your job, which you loved so much?
– Naturally, I miss you. Sometimes I do not watch TV for months, so as not to be suffocated by the bogey of the უც Sometimes I wake up suddenly and involuntarily look for a microphone, where can I run to do something… I watch a story on TV, I am critical and …
– What happens in your personal life?
– Nothing, what should happen to a woman hidden from the earth?
– What time do you miss the most?
– My wife and I were going to film, maybe that time. I remember the shot that could not be corrected, how I started fighting. When we returned home in the evening, we laughed. I guess people say what about us, just so I quarrel.
– Your country?
– I miss my country until 2008. I miss my friends with whom I have no contact at all. I miss my mother and my son who lost their mother practically, alive and has emigrated today.
– Where are you now, in which country?
– Let it remain a secret ჯერ
– It was very strange for you to leave this country, why did you disappear anyway?
– Probably, someday the time will come and I will say. I just want to say that I quit my favorite job because I did not want to betray my country. But I could not make the enemy of my country happy either. We were making a film about the 2008 war, it was not easy, you did not have to be subjective, you had to be objective… but it turned out to be the most difficult. I do not want to talk about it now, but the reason I lost both my country and my family was this war. My presence in Georgia was very dangerous and in general, even my appearance. Until the international trial is over, so to speak, I am a living corpse, I can not say more than that, if I could, I would stay in the family and in the country. Silence torments a person, but what do you do? Sometimes silence is the only way to protect your family and homeland…
– Did you finally finish working on the 2008 war?
– I do not want to talk about this topic…
– Do you see Georgia in a dream?
– In Tbilisi… Sometimes I think Soso and I (his wife Ioseb Iluridze, a former TV cameraman) are walking along the Mtkvari River. Sometimes I visit the funicular with my friends. It is good to have all the dreams seen in the homeland. In the dream I see an abandoned child of mine who grew up without a mother, I see grandchildren whom I know only through photographs.
– Do you promise to ever return?
– I will be back… The time of the magician will come…
– And tell us the truth, why did you go ..
– I do not call it going anymore, I call it fleeing for my country.
– Finally, this interview will be read by many of your fans, would you like to congratulate them on the New Year?
– I congratulate everyone ავ I congratulate my country on the coming of 2021. I wish you a happy country; I wish that in my country children do not mourn their parents, people do not suffer and the enemies of our country, both inside and outside the country, disappear. I have never backed down for my country and I want happiness in everyone’s heart. I want to apologize to my mother and my child for leaving them, for the discomfort created for them. But the time will come and they will realize that the eternal is God and the homeland. They can even forgive me for my homeland…
