There will be no mass anti-Russian movement in Georgia, expert says

This week another anti-Russian protest was held in Georgia. The protesters, who demanded that the Georgian authorities take certain measures to return the breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, burned a Russian flag.

Vestnik Kavkaza discussed the incident with the head of the Institute of the Management Strategy, Petre Mamradze.

According to the expert the current tensions are caused by the delimitation of the Abkhaz-Georgian border conducted by the Russian military. Many Georgians are enraged, because their estates are infringed on.

The expert noted that such protest actions may be held in future as well, but underlined that no mass anti-Russian movement will take place in Georgia.

The majority of Georgians are pro-Russian, many of them live and work in Russia, he said.
