The police did their best to ensure the safety of the people, however, this was very difficult given the large number of people who had arrived at different locations. Such a statement made today the Mayor of Tbilisi.

As for the perpetrators, everyone will definitely be held accountable before the law. When we see that 5 people are beating one person, what are we even talking about?! The police did their best to ensure the safety of the people. It was very difficult considering that lots of people were coming out to different locations. It was not a gathering at one particular place. Unfortunately, the disaster that we saw was happening and this was followed by an appropriate response. More than 100 people were arrested. All participants who are charged and have committed crimes will be punished.

For me, as a citizen, all forms of violence, acts of incitement to violence and even statements are categorically unacceptable. Violence is not only physical, like punching someone, violence is also psychological, which is done by specific TV stations. We should pay great attention to this in the future”, added Kakha Kaladze.
