A rally against the resumption of direct air links with Russia was held in front of the Georgian parliament building in the center of Tbilisi. Participants in the rally believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin's decisions are alienating Georgia from the European Union and putting it at risk of international sanctions.

"At a time when Ukrainian cities and villages are being destroyed, we have no right to think about how to travel comfortably to Russia. At a time when Russian President Vladimir Putin has been declared an international criminal, we have no right to accept his gifts. The resumption of flights jeopardizes Georgia's international reputation and puts it at risk of sanctions," said lawyer Kakha Tsikarishvili, one of the protesters, reports TV channel Formula.

The protest was organized by a group of initiative group of citizens. It was joined by other activists, students and opposition politicians. The rally was declared apolitical.
