Two people stabbed in Dmanisi

A physical confrontation occurred in the Azerbaijani-populated Dmanisi region of Georgia.

According to Report's local bureau, the incident took place during a pre-election meeting of the candidate for mayor of the opposition United National Movement (UNM) Giorgi Tatuashvili in the village of Gantiadi.

As a result, two opposition supporters were stabbed. They were taken to the hospital.

UNM blamed followers of the ruling Georgian Dream Party for the incident.

Tatuashvili has been the mayor of Dmanisi since 2017. He was expelled from the ruling Georgian Dream Party in August last year. The reason was that his rival from the opposition supported the election campaign.
