Heute veröffentlichte das "Russische Ministerium für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten auf der Krim" @PMSimferopol folgenden Tweet. /2
"Die Proteste (...) die in #Tbilisi (Tiflis) ausgebrochen sind, führen zu Forderungen nach dem Rücktritt der Regierung. Wir empfehlen dem georgischen Volk, sich an eine ähnliche Situation in #Ukraine im Jahr 2014 zu erinnern und daran, wozu sie letztendlich führte!#ThinkTwice"/3
Dass das Ausländische-Agenten-Gesetz in #Georgien zurückgezogen wurde, zeigt verschiedene Dinge, insbesondere auch mit Blick auf #Putin und #Russland. Was in #Tbilisi gerade passiert, wird im Rückblick historisch zu nennen sein. Ein kleiner Thread. 1/11
Zunächst zeigt das Einknicken der georgischen Regierung, dass das Gesetz aus ihrer Sicht eigentlich die "richtige" Stoßrichtung hatte, nämlich gegen die Zivilgesellschaft. Denn es ist genau diese, die das Gesetz nun zu Fall gebracht hat. 2/11
Dazu muss man wissen, dass in Georgien die Regierung und der Volkeswille ziemlich weit auseinandergehen. Während die aktuelle Regierung putinhörig ist, hassen die allermeisten Georgier #Putin. An keinem anderen Ort der Welt habe ich mehr Ukraineflaggen gesehen. 3/11
President #Zelensky made a statement in support of protesters in #Tbilisi: I would like to thank all of you, who were holding Ukrainian flags in the streets and squares of Georgia these days. I want to thank you for our national anthem, which was played in Tbilisi. 1/4
An opposition representative said at a rally in Tbilisi that the protesters intend to prevent deputies from entering parliament for a meeting on Thursday, March 9.

Усвајање Закона о страним агентима довело је до узавреле атмосфере и туче у 🇬🇪 парламенту. Напета атмосфера пренијела се и на улице Тбилисија. Хиљаде људи се окупило на протесту.
Окупљена маса је покушала да провали у зграду парламента и почела да успоставља барикаде. Атмосферу извјештачи са лица мјеста упоређују са мајданским протестима у #Kiev 2013/14. Полиција је одбила напад на парламент и за сада контролише ситуацију.
🇪🇺 и 🇺🇲 дубоко су незадовољне неуталним ставом Грузије према рату 🇷🇺 и 🇺🇦. Влада у Тбилисију је одбила да уведе било какве санкције 🇷🇺, а камоли да изврши оружане провокације према побуњеној Абхазији и Јужној Осетији. Због тога су прошле године у Бриселу одбили да 🇬🇪 додијелe

Hoy se cumplen 31 años de la (re)declaración de independencia de #Azerbaiyán, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre esta Tierra del Fuego que nada tiene que ver con Ushuaia, el país de los volcanes de barro y los mares que arden 🇦🇿🔥
La historia de #Azerbaiyan empieza en la cueva Azykh, en donde habitaron los primeros humanos (o casi) en la zona.
Se encontraron fósiles de neandertal de unos 300 mil años. Pero además tenían ¡CHIMENEA! La 1° de la historia. La hermandad entre azeríes y fuego comenzó entonces.

"are we here today because there wasn't a Nuremburg trial for the Soviets?", asks @antelava w reference to comment by Giga Bokeria that there hasn't been enough of a reckoning with the crimes of communism. @TbilisiZeg
maybe not so much Nuremburg, but "West" could & should have paid much more attention to what happened earlier in Chechnya, etc., so some hope that this focuses minds on such crimes in the future, says @AnnaNeistat

Esta semana, el 21 de septiembre, #Armenia cumplió 31 años de independencia, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre el primer país oficialmente cristiano del mundo, que tiene un Arca de Noé, una mano de oro y es cuna de todos los sufijos "ian".
Cuenta la leyenda que el arca de Noé encalló en el monte #Ararat, en la actual Turquía. Y dicen que descubrieron los restos del navío.
Se supone que el patriarca Hayk, fundador de Armenia, era tataratatara nieto de Noé. O chozno, que es una palabra que no uso nunca.

#Armenia fue reino y/o imperio y también parte de muchos otros imperios, entre ellos el Persa, el Romano, el Bizantino y el Otomano, que dividió Armenia y a su población en Occidental y Oriental en el siglo XVI. Esto traería unos cuantos problemas más adelante... y hasta hoy.
#ThisDay Sep 16, 1822, Tserents, a prominent Armenian writer, was born in Constantinople. Together with Raffi, Tserents was the founder of Armenian historical novel. Novel "Thoros of Levon" was dedicated to the tragic events in the history of #Armenia'n Kingdom of Cilicia, 12th c
His best known novel, The Travails of the 9th Century, reflects the liberation struggle of the Armenian people against the Abbasid Caliphate in the 9th century. Tserents' novel Theodoros Rshtuni is about the historic struggle of the 7th century for a strong centralized state.
Tserents studied at Venice, at the San Lazzaro degli Armeni of the Mekhitarist Order between 1831–1837 and continued his education in Paris (1848–1853). He returned to Constantinople in 1853 and lived for several years in Cyprus, working as a teacher & scientist.
#OnThisDay, September 15, 1906, Dmitriy Nalbandyan, a prominent Soviet #Armenia'n painter, People's #Artist of the USSR, member of the USSR Academy of Arts, Hero of Socialist Labor & twice winner of the Stalin Prize, was born in Tiflis (now #Tbilisi), Russian Empire.
The beginning of Nalbandyan's artistic career happened to be during the 1930s, the time when active restructuring in the artistic sphere has begun, and Social Realism started to gain its momentum. He worked in the field of graphics, painted portraits, still lifes & landscapes.
In his work, the artist tried to convey the image of the typical Soviet man and reflect important episodes of the life of the Soviet Union, embodying the ideology of the Party and following the appeal for the formation of a new citizen and building a new society within Socialism.
Unweit von Gelati liegt dann noch das Kloster Motsameta, das wie man sieht, häufig für Hochzeiten genutzt wird. Hier befinden sich die Gebeine der Märtyrer Davit und Konstantin, die im 8. Jahrhundert ermordet wurden, als sie eine Rebellion gegen die Araber organisierten.
Wenn du „Gamardschoba“ (georgisch für Guten Tag) so akzentfrei sprichst, das dich alle für einen Einheimischen halten. 😅

“Let's start with the most dramatic and bloody events about Ossetia and Abkhazia. the problems of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have been dragging on for a long time, they did not arise during the time of Putin or even during the reign of Yeltsin, they are much older… 🧵
…The conflict between Abkhazians and Georgians dates back hundreds of years. During the time of Stalin, who was a Georgian, there was a forced Georgification of Abkhazia. That is, Georgians moved to the territory of Abkhazia and had to assimilate there…🧵

Interesting point from @JasperMortimer on @FRANCE24. While Lavrov said today that he doesn't have the authority to agree on anything with his Ukrainian counterpart, this raises questions about what on earth is going on with the bilateral negotiations held on the Belarus border.

It has become known that citizens of Belarus, despite their political position, have been subjected to discrimination in Europe.
In Poland, there were cases when they were denied housing or employment. The number of attacks on Belarusian truck drivers has increased.
