Patriarchate: Hatred reached its limit. There is no willingness for bilateral dialogue

The Georgian Patriarchate issued a statement on Wednesday noting that “Hatred has reached its limit, and there is no apparent willingness for bilateral dialogue and discussion” amid ongoing protest rallies.

“Unfortunately, the situation has progressed to the point that occult rituals are being performed. During a performance in front of the Parliament on Rustaveli Avenue, demonstrators also burned a coffin with a figure of the Saviour engraved on it.

Such activities further polarise society. All of this is intentional blasphemy on the part of those who organised the acts or knowingly engaged in them, and the organisers carry the most responsibility.

These and other such facts serve as a reminder of the harsh era of raids and church insults that we have witnessed in the recent past.

Such rituals near the temple are an intentional provocation and are also disrespectful to believers,” the Patriarchate said in a statement.
