Levan Tarkhnishvili on recent events
What we have seen in the past few days was the normal reaction of normal people angry at the behavior of their own government and police.
People got angry because the government is taking the country to Russia and it didn’t start yesterday and the day before yesterday, it has been happening for ten years and we have been protesting against it for ten years.
The youth comes out on the streets when Georgia’s statehood is threatened when the government calls us in Russia. This is what happened on June 20, the night of “Gavrilov”, and therefore what we saw yesterday is the reaction of very angry and upset people.
However, this does not rule out that there were provocations as well. At such times, provocateurs always appear, you can call them “titushkas”, who walk around and cause harm.
