The President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, responds to the violence in the capital and categorically condemns it, calling on the relevant bodies to ensure order.
"Violence is unacceptable! I condemn the events that took place today and the manifestation of violence in any form, persecution of people for dissent, or gender identity.
Everyone has the right to exercise their constitutional right and to express their opinion freely!
I call on everyone to act within the framework of the Constitution and not to provoke violence through radical actions.
Violence against media representatives and obstruction of professional activities, and intrusion and attacks on the offices of public organizations are unacceptable.
I call on everyone to show restraint and the relevant authorities to ensure the maintenance of public order and to the prevention of violent acts!
Any kind of encouragement that promotes radical actions, polarizes the society, stirs up controversy, damages the country, threatens the stability of the state is unacceptable," Salome Zurabishvili wrote.
