Photo exhibition "Georgia to Ukraine" in Tbilisi was attacked on opening day

An exhibition of photos taken at rallies, held in Tbilisi in support of the Ukrainian Euromaidan in 2014, was opened on February 20 in the presidential library named after Mikhail Saakashvili. Activists of the NGO "Free Generation" held a protest action at the library; and some unidentified persons threw packs of paint at the windows of the building, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.

The presentation of the exhibition "Georgia to Ukraine" began on February 20 at 5:00 p.m. in the above presidential library. By that time, about 10 activists of the "Free Generation", who were against the exhibition, gathered near the library building. At the beginning of the presentation, some unidentified persons threw packs of paint to the windows of the library; and it took an hour for the library staff to wash the paint off, Irina Kalatozishvili, the author of the exhibited photos, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Andro Barnov, a political analyst and the director of the library, spoke at the presentation and called law enforcement bodies to protect the Mikhail Saakashvili presidential library from hooligans' attacks.
