Back in November, I wrote about the crackdown on protesters in Tbilisi. I had been there a year earlier, and pretty much fell in love with that City. I am now beside myself watching the destruction of parts of that country. I plan to write a new post on Georgia, but in the meantime, I will link to my old posts written about Georgia, one about the events in November, and one of photos. Anyway, it’s all very confusing and not the least bit unsettling. My friend, Nino, in Tbilisi, remains optimistic. This is from an email this morning: unfortunately I have no idea what can stop insane
russian government.but i'm still think positive. and people around really feel themselves as if we were winners! they say no matter what will happen _ we already won. cuz you know people are very unified and very patriotic and even opposition, which few months ago almost made a revolution in country, now say they will support Saakashvili in everything this days . every nights and during the days there are peaceful demonstrations in the streets of Tbilisi... mostly around the embassy of russia... they showed on Tv that one georgian guy wanted to throw an egg to the building of the embassy but other people stopped him. cuz our possition is that the only aggressor here is the russia. we are just protecting ourselves in our country. we are not a big nation Ellen, we have such a small country, we are not interested in wars and killing people. hmmmm, you may think that i'm crazy but even in this situation i still think everything will be fine :) I will post some more photos of Georgia from a calmer time soon. In the meantime, my thoughts are with Nino and all those others in Georgia who showed me such amazing hospitality and warmth. Comments are closed.
