In Tbilisi restless: Georgians are protesting against direct airline with Russia (video)

In the center of Tbilisi, several thousand people were announced on a share, announced by several opposition parties of Georgia. Georgians protested against direct airline with Russia. People chanted slogans against Russia and even blocked the central street. This was reported by Georgian media on May 19. Activists who oppose convergence with Russia are chanting Sakartvelo and No Direct Flights from the Russian Federation.

Later, people surrounded the Georgia Parliament and began to play the drum and sing the Georgia Anthem of Tavisupleba, that is, "Freedom", knocking on the fence and chanting: "Sakartvelo!". Within a few hours, the action gained momentum and activists blocked Rustaveli's central street. About 20 men in black clothing without distinctive signs were noticed on action against direct airlines with Russia. Their faces closed masks, some had helmets, in backpacks - sticks.

They stood next to the car with the inscription "Police". Georgia's police mobilized dozens of employees who came to a rally against direct airline on the evening of May 19. Most police officers in the usual form stood at the rear entrance to Parliament before the crowd of protesters. We will remind, on May 10, Putin abolished the ban on flights from Russia to Georgia.

Direct airline between Russia and Georgia was interrupted in 2019 after a scandal called "Gavrilov's Night" and the beginning of protests against rapprochement with Russia in Tbilisi. By the way, since the beginning of 2022, Russian citizens bought more than 8 thousand apartments in Georgia, ie almost 40% of apartments sold to foreigners. It is worth noting that Georgia has become one of the most popular areas among Russians after the start of "special operation".
