“Responsibility for those results lies with the convicted Saakashvili and his aggressive group, who tried to use the sincere protest of our fellow citizens and attacked our constitution,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Bakhtadze declared the inadmissibility of such actions.
However, he also admitted that during the protests "in some cases, certain people exceeded their strength."
Earlier it was reported that as a result of unrest near the parliament building in the center of Tbilisi at least 52 people, including 38 policemen, were injured.
On June 20, Tbilisi was overwhelmed by protests. The protesters opposed the participation of Russian delegates in the session of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Orthodoxy.
As reported later by the Georgian Interior Ministry, ten law enforcement officers who took part in the dispersal of protesters in Tbilisi were suspended from work for abuse of power.
