Georgian Armenians call for Russian withdrawal
Tbilisi, 22 August: The Armenian diaspora of Georgia is demanding the
timely withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia.
This was the demand voiced by the troupe of Tbilisi’s Armenian Drama
Theatre at their rally near the village of Igoeti. The protesters came
to the Russian military checkpoint with placards in Georgian and
Armenian, reading: "Russia stop aggression against Georgia", "We are
all Georgians today."
"We must be together today. We love multiethnic and beautiful Georgia,
we want peace. We call to get together and stop this aggression. All
that happened is inadmissible in the 21st century," a protester said.
