In Georgia they are again protesting against the introduction of a “pro-Russian” law on foreign agents

A rally is taking place on the First Republic Square in Tbilisi against the law on foreign agents being discussed by the ruling party and the government. From here the march “Yes to Europe!” will begin. No to Russian law,” participants will move towards parliament.

“Join us for the sake of Georgia’s European future! We choose Europe, Georgia will never be Russia! Let's defend the achievement of April 9 together! Yes - Europe! No to Russian law!” the organizers of the action call.

On April 9, 1989, units of the armed forces of the Soviet Union brutally dispersed a peaceful protest near the parliament building in the center of Tbilisi, which resulted in numerous casualties among peaceful demonstrators. 21 people died, hundreds of citizens were poisoned by gas of unknown composition.

“I don’t know what the West’s reaction will be, there probably will be a reaction, but the main thing here is to KNOW WHAT WE WANT: we want what happened on April 9, 1989, or we want what happened on April 9, 1991. The choice for Georgia is either independence, or slavery, or Europe, or Russia, and we know what we want,” said Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili.
