Why did the TV host attack Putin?<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Georgian TV host verbally attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin on a live TV show. His comments lead to protests and in the end channel suspended broadcasting. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protests didn\u2019t start just because a Georgian TV host attacked Putin, it all began before this incident.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For weeks there were violent protests in the former Soviet republic. Protests started because of a visit by Vladimir Putin. Protest quickly turned into a double crisis, turning Moscow against Tbilisi and the protesters against their government.\u00a0

What happened during live TV?<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Giorgi Gabunia started his Sunday show on Georgia\u2019s independent Rustavi 2 television station with a minute-long video of graphic vulgarity at the Russian president and his deceased mother.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabunia spoke in Russian, during his speech he called Russian people slaves and told them that they should get out of Georgia.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequences after the show<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Later that night Georgians gathered outside the Rustavi 2 office to demonstrate against Gabunia\u2019s comments. After that channel went off the air on Monday morning over safety concerns.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgian president Salome Zurabishvili and other Georgian officials condemned the TV host\u2019s actions as a provocation against the country\u2019s interests.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verbal attack on Putin was unacceptable and it was an attempt to undermine Georgian-Russian relations, said Russia\u2019s Foreign Ministry. This situation was a disgrace for the Georgian people and the Georgian authorities were failing to pacify radical anti-Russian forces, told Dmitry Peskov.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TV channel later apologized and the television station started fully working on Monday morning.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after this incident, there was new controversy. Russia suspended flights to Georgia starting Monday. They told that it would tighten controls on Georgian wine imports.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see, there will be a lot of issues between Russia and Georgia. One crisis was resolved when another one is about to happen. There will be a lot of things happening between these two countries where a simple apology would not work anymore.
