#TbilisiProtests
Усвајање Закона о страним агентима довело је до узавреле атмосфере и туче у 🇬🇪 парламенту. Напета атмосфера пренијела се и на улице Тбилисија. Хиљаде људи се окупило на протесту.

Окупљена маса је покушала да провали у зграду парламента и почела да успоставља барикаде. Атмосферу извјештачи са лица мјеста упоређују са мајданским протестима у #Kiev 2013/14. Полиција је одбила напад на парламент и за сада контролише ситуацију.

🇪🇺 и 🇺🇲 дубоко су незадовољне неуталним ставом Грузије према рату 🇷🇺 и 🇺🇦. Влада у Тбилисију је одбила да уведе било какве санкције 🇷🇺, а камоли да изврши оружане провокације према побуњеној Абхазији и Јужној Осетији. Због тога су прошле године у Бриселу одбили да 🇬🇪 додијелe

A lull after almost two hours of tension in #Tbilisi streets. The riot #police have pulled back after majority #MPs who voted for the "foreign agent" law have been rushed out from the #Parliament 1

Ruling party leader Irakli #Kobakhidze said the law has "no bearing" on #Georgia's #European future and his party is committed to #EU membership 2/5

#Kobakhidze said many of those who protest "haven't read the law, or read it without lawyer's advice", he accused radical opposition of manipulating the matter and lies about "Russian law" 3/5

Hoy se cumplen 31 años de la (re)declaración de independencia de #Azerbaiyán, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre esta Tierra del Fuego que nada tiene que ver con Ushuaia, el país de los volcanes de barro y los mares que arden 🇦🇿🔥

La historia de #Azerbaiyan empieza en la cueva Azykh, en donde habitaron los primeros humanos (o casi) en la zona.

Se encontraron fósiles de neandertal de unos 300 mil años. Pero además tenían ¡CHIMENEA! La 1° de la historia. La hermandad entre azeríes y fuego comenzó entonces.

(Sí, sí, la cueva está en el territorio en disputa de #NagornoKarabakh, pero bajo control de Azerbaiyán y reconocido internacionalmente como territorio azerbaiyano)

final town-hall session still many in audience after very full @TbilisiZeg day.
Ukraine, the broader context, notes on caution & context & reflections.

"are we here today because there wasn't a Nuremburg trial for the Soviets?", asks @antelava w reference to comment by Giga Bokeria that there hasn't been enough of a reckoning with the crimes of communism. @TbilisiZeg

maybe not so much Nuremburg, but "West" could & should have paid much more attention to what happened earlier in Chechnya, etc., so some hope that this focuses minds on such crimes in the future, says @AnnaNeistat

Forgotten Wars, Open Wounds -- @NorthAndrew and @saadmohseni abt the conflicts that we do not pay attention to. #Georgia slipping from minds; Iraq protests in 2019; Afghanistan now.
Third session in @TbilisiZeg in #Tbilisi.

.@saadmohseni In Afghanistan, "we paid a very heavy price for the victory over Soviets", the question I ask about #Ukraine -- how will this end? "The American have been very fickle."

"It's easy to cheer from the sidelines, but people get killed. We have been seeing that play out in our own lives in 44 years of war."

Esta semana, el 21 de septiembre, #Armenia cumplió 31 años de independencia, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre el primer país oficialmente cristiano del mundo, que tiene un Arca de Noé, una mano de oro y es cuna de todos los sufijos "ian".

Cuenta la leyenda que el arca de Noé encalló en el monte #Ararat, en la actual Turquía. Y dicen que descubrieron los restos del navío.

Se supone que el patriarca Hayk, fundador de Armenia, era tataratatara nieto de Noé. O chozno, que es una palabra que no uso nunca.

#Armenia fue reino y/o imperio y también parte de muchos otros imperios, entre ellos el Persa, el Romano, el Bizantino y el Otomano, que dividió Armenia y a su población en Occidental y Oriental en el siglo XVI. Esto traería unos cuantos problemas más adelante... y hasta hoy.

#ThisDay Sep 16, 1822, Tserents, a prominent Armenian writer, was born in Constantinople. Together with Raffi, Tserents was the founder of Armenian historical novel. Novel "Thoros of Levon" was dedicated to the tragic events in the history of #Armenia'n Kingdom of Cilicia, 12th c

His best known novel, The Travails of the 9th Century, reflects the liberation struggle of the Armenian people against the Abbasid Caliphate in the 9th century. Tserents' novel Theodoros Rshtuni is about the historic struggle of the 7th century for a strong centralized state.

Tserents studied at Venice, at the San Lazzaro degli Armeni of the Mekhitarist Order between 1831–1837 and continued his education in Paris (1848–1853). He returned to Constantinople in 1853 and lived for several years in Cyprus, working as a teacher & scientist.

#OnThisDay, September 15, 1906, Dmitriy Nalbandyan, a prominent Soviet #Armenia'n painter, People's #Artist of the USSR, member of the USSR Academy of Arts, Hero of Socialist Labor & twice winner of the Stalin Prize, was born in Tiflis (now #Tbilisi), Russian Empire.

The beginning of Nalbandyan's artistic career happened to be during the 1930s, the time when active restructuring in the artistic sphere has begun, and Social Realism started to gain its momentum. He worked in the field of graphics, painted portraits, still lifes & landscapes.

In his work, the artist tried to convey the image of the typical Soviet man and reflect important episodes of the life of the Soviet Union, embodying the ideology of the Party and following the appeal for the formation of a new citizen and building a new society within Socialism.

Unweit von Gelati liegt dann noch das Kloster Motsameta, das wie man sieht, häufig für Hochzeiten genutzt wird. Hier befinden sich die Gebeine der Märtyrer Davit und Konstantin, die im 8. Jahrhundert ermordet wurden, als sie eine Rebellion gegen die Araber organisierten.

Wenn du „Gamardschoba“ (georgisch für Guten Tag) so akzentfrei sprichst, das dich alle für einen Einheimischen halten. 😅

Es ist wohl einer der skurrilsten Gebäude in Kutaisi mit einer tragischen Geschichte. Ende der 2000er wurde Initiative des damaligen Präsidenten Micheil Saakaschwili entschieden, das georgische Parlament nach Kutaisi zu verlegen…

okay, let's talk about what Boris #Nemtsov said after the 08.08.08 aggression (#Tskhinval)
Boris Nemtsov is a well-known russian opposition politician who was killed in 2015. there will be tweets with his direct quotes🧵
#Немцов #AbkhaziaisnotGeorgia #SouthOssetiaisnotGeorgia

“Let's start with the most dramatic and bloody events about Ossetia and Abkhazia. the problems of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been dragging on for a long time, they did not arise during the time of Putin or even during the reign of Yeltsin, they are much older… 🧵

…The conflict between Abkhazians and Georgians dates back hundreds of years. During the time of Stalin, who was a Georgian, there was a forced Georgification of Abkhazia. That is, Georgians moved to the territory of Abkhazia and had to assimilate there…🧵

.@FRANCE24 reports that Russian advances in Ukraine have stalled. No significant territorial changes on the ground in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, US sources put the number of Russian soldiers killed in this reckless invasion at around 6,000. #Kyiv

I don't know what will stop Vladimir Putin," says journalist Manon Loizeau on @FRANCE24. "Yes, we should all be afraid." #Ukraine #Kyiv #Moscow #Russia

Interesting point from @JasperMortimer on @FRANCE24. While Lavrov said today that he doesn't have the authority to agree on anything with his Ukrainian counterpart, this raises questions about what on earth is going on with the bilateral negotiations held on the Belarus border.

❗️Belarussians are not the enemy to Ukranian people

At the protest in support of #Ukraine in #Tbilisi a #Belarusian woman asked to stop discrimination by passport

"My passport does not indicate my position. My heart and soul pray for Ukraine," she wrote on the poster.
1/4

It has become known that citizens of Belarus, despite their political position, have been subjected to discrimination in Europe.

In Poland, there were cases when they were denied housing or employment. The number of attacks on Belarusian truck drivers has increased.
2/4

Most Belarusians in Europe are political refugees who left dictatorship. They fully support Ukraine, as do most of Belarusians.

The fact that Lukashenko let the Russian troops come in is just a new article for his criminal case, but not a reason to hate our people.
