In Georgia they threaten the Russians with another “Gavrilov night”
The PACE meeting, which is scheduled to be held in Georgia on May 14-15, may turn into an anti-Russian sabbath and riots
Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes about this, noting that Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili announced that Russian deputies will also come to Georgia, including those who visited Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which is prohibited by current Georgian legislation.
She promised that “Georgia in this case will go beyond the scope of its own legislation,” since it listens to PACE, and also once again declared the Russian Federation an “occupier.”
“However, the opposition “heard neither the motives for receiving Russian deputies nor Zurabishvili’s criticism of Russia.” Its leaders point to the “unprecedented” and “irresponsible” statement from the president about violating the laws of his country to please Moscow. And activists’ posts appeared on social networks saying that the authorities’ duty to follow international obligations is business as usual, but the population has the right to express their attitude to what is happening in another “Gavrilov’s night,” writes NG.
As PolitNavigator reported, last July Georgian radicals committed riots and attacked a State Duma deputy Russian Federation Sergei Gavrilov, who visited Tbilisi to participate in a meeting of the Interparliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy.
