Georgian airline Georgian Airways has declared the country’s President, Salome Zurabishvili, persona non grata on its plane. The reason for this was the statements of the Georgian leader, in which she called the planes flying from Moscow to Tbilisi undesirable.
Any Georgian has done more for Georgia than Ms. Zurabishvili. A person who was born a traitor, apparently, does not even feel how he betrays people, the interests of the country, his homeland. Mrs Salomé has announced a boycott of the national airline, we declare her persona non grata and will not let her board until she apologizes to the Georgian people
- said the head of Georgian Airways Tamaz Gaiashvili.
Recall that the first plane from Moscow since 2019 landed at Tbilisi airport on May 19. Previously, Vladimir Putin announced the resumption of air traffic between Russia and Georgia.
The plane from Russia was met with protests from the Georgian opposition, which the country’s President, Salome Zurabishvili, has desperately called for. According to her, the resumption of air communications between Russia and Georgia is a real provocation.
To protect passengers arriving from Russia, Georgian police had to set up a cordon near the air port. After that, protesters in Tbilisi moved towards the country’s government building.
