As the politician explained, Russophobic sentiments are still present in Georgia, in particular, various “outrageous elements” attack Russian tourists and tear down St. George ribbons.

On June 20, mass protests began in Tbilisi.

The situation has caused discontent of a number of political parties.

Later, riots broke out in the center of Tbilisi, during which 240 people were injured. More than 300 were detained.
