In Georgia Simonian’s Threats to «Hit Tbilisi» Were Addressed

One of the Georgian students decided to respond to the threats of the Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan with the words: Simonian, you too will not be allowed to have fun in The Hague».
A little earlier, one of the mouthpieces of Russian propaganda Margarita Simonyan said about Georgia: No one will make a fuss with Georgia and the troops will not be sent there, but just trample right on Tbilisi, not really considering... So that all this started in vain. Would pity the beautiful city and its temperamental residents. Since they do not spare themselves».
Thus she reacted to the mass protests in Tbilisi against the law on foreign agents. The rally was also chanted by «Sukhumi! Sukhumi!» which meant returning Abkhazia to Georgia. In 2008, the region, like South Ossetia, had been illegally withdrawn and were in fact under the control of Moscow. It is noteworthy that the authorities of Armenia banned the entry of Simonian to his historical homeland.
