❗️Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili expressed condolences over the death of a teenager in Tbilisi.
Just yesterday, the fountains opened after many months of repair (the cost was more than $2 million) shocked three children. One girl died.
ℹ️ Unfortunately, problems with electricity and equipment quality can be found everywhere in Georgia. Once in Tbilisi, when electricity went out in my house and then was turned on, the switched off air conditioner caught fire, the appliances and telephones of the residents burned down. Such "electricians" gave increased current to the house.
❤️ Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Be careful.

✈️🧨 52 years ago - on October 15, 1970, the first hijacking of a passenger plane took place in the USSR, and it was in Georgia.
An An-24 passenger aircraft that took off from Batumi and was heading for Sukhumi was hijacked by two men. During the attack, the stewardess Nadezhda Kurchenko (pictured) was killed, in total the criminals fired 24 shots, injuring the crew commander, navigator and flight mechanic, 44 passengers were taken hostage. The plane landed in Turkish Trabzon, where the attackers surrendered to the authorities. Later it turned out that the father and son of Brazinskasa were the hijackers and murderers. For these crimes, the Turkish court sentenced them to 8 and 2 years in prison, but they were released much earlier. Their fate was tragic: they left first for Venezuela, then for the United States, where in 2002 a 46-year-old son beat his 77-year-old father to death and was convicted for a long time.

⛸🇬🇪🥉Thirteen-year-old Georgian figure skater Inga Gurgenidze won a bronze medal among junior girls at the Grand Prix in figure skating.
The girl showed the highest result among the representatives of Europe both in the short program and in the free skate. The athlete performed under her mother's surname Nikitina, but recently decided to switch to her father's surname Gurgenidze, and later changed her citizenship. Little Inga has a triple axel in her jump set and is considered one of the promising skaters at her age.
