What does it matter if a journalist is abusive, a clergyman is abusive, a politician or an ordinary citizen

Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze responded to the August 28 attack on a Formula One journalist by a monk at the Tavkvetula Monastery, saying the violence was "categorically unacceptable."

According to Kaladze, it does not matter if the violence is physical or psychological, everyone should fight against it together.

"What does it matter if a journalist is abusive, a clergyman is abusive, a politician is abusive or just an ordinary citizen? Violence is categorically unacceptable, and we must act together against physical violence as well as psychological violence, if we want to save the country, to take care of the future, to develop, to have peace and stability," Kaladze said.
