The incident, as noted, was attended by demonstrators demanding the resignation of Georgian Interior Minister Georgy Gakharia and activists opposing the LGBT rally, the “March of Dignity”.
It is noted that law enforcement officers placed a police cordon to separate the demonstrators, but there were clashes between the participants of the two actions.
In addition, on July 8, a demonstration took place at the office of the Rustavi 2 TV company in Tbilisi, organized in connection with the statements of the leading channel Georgy Gabunia, who on July 7 broadcasting his author's program offensively insulted President Vladimir Putin.
