The arrival in Georgia of the daughter of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Ekaterina Vinokurova, to attend a wedding has provoked demonstrations, protests and arrests. But also the cancellation of the wedding party because the participants left the hotel 'Kvareli Lake' in a hurry. Georgia Today reports on 16 arrested who will be tried today.
The daughter of the head of Russian diplomacy is subject to international sanctions. But he did not want to give up the marriage of a relative in Tbilisi. His arrival, however, did not go unnoticed and yesterday morning a protest rally began at the hotel. However, the protest degenerated into tension between the police and the demonstrators.
Georgia's President Salome Zurabishvili later reported that she had received a promise from Georgia's Minister of Internal Affairs that "the family, the people who would arrange the second half of the wedding, have left and therefore the party will not take place."
