Protests continue in Georgia for straight third over the visit of a Russian delegation prompting Moscow to block air connections with its neighbour
Opposition demonstrators hold an anti-Putin poster as they gather in front of the Georgian Parliament building in Tbilisi, Georgia, Saturday, June 22, 2019.
The throng was mostly orderly but insistent in its array of demands, including the resignation of the interior minister over harsh tactics by police in breaking up a rally on Thursday in which at least 240 people were injured. Animosity toward Russia is strong in the wake of the 2008 war in which Georgia lost control of two Russia-backed separatist territories.
President Vladimir Putin on Friday ordered the country's airlines to stop taking Russian citizens to Georgia as of July 8 and the transportation ministry on Saturday said Georgian airlines would banned from Russia on the same date. The bans affect six Russian airlines and two from Georgia. The moves echo bans that Russia imposed in 2006 on flights and imports of Georgian wine and mineral water as tensions rose between the countries. Those bans were later lifted.
