The actions of a small group of people do not represent the entire Georgian people, who are not
at all Russophobic, a member of the Committee on International Affairs, a representative of the United Russia faction Evgenii Primakov
Evgenii Aleksandrovich
told journalists.
He noted that the Georgian authorities proved that they are weak, but not in terms of dispersing a demonstration, they showed their strong side in that case, but they became hostages of some aggressive minority.
“The Georgian government is not independent and is intimidated by the aggressive opposition. The more official Tbilisi stirs up Russophobia, the smaller group of people it will represent,” Evgenii Primakov said.
According to the parliamentarian, the sanctions measures, which the President of the Russian Federation introduced by his decree, will affect the budget of Georgia and, possibly, it will sober the Georgian authorities up.
On June 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree banning Russian airlines from flying to Georgia.
On June 20, a delegation of Russian politicians at the session of the Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO) left the Georgian parliament after an attempt to attack by the radicals. Later, a manifestation took place near the parliament building in the center of Tbilisi, which was attended by several thousand people.
