The Dinamo-Shirak match (1-1), held Monday in Tbilisi, Georgia,
was followed by an unpleasant incident which might have ended in a
tragedy. Around 130 fans of Dinamo, including young ladies, decided
to assault the Armenian sportsmen ...
The Georgian fans were active during the match, showing active support
to their players. And it didn't demonstrate an undisciplined conduct.
But a minute after the match, 80 Georgian fans, including 30 young
ladies (reportedly Armenians residing in Georgia), started an
attack off the tribune. A tragedy would have been inevitable if
they had clashed with the sportsmen. Fortunately, the police and
the representatives of Armenia's delegation managed to restrain the
aggressive Dinamo fans.
Matches between Armenian and Georgian sportsmen, held earlier in
Tbilisi, used to end in such a way, but the recent scandal that
followed a friendly meeting, was not expected absolutely. The game
showed that the Georgian side should have observed security norms
in any case and given the guest team's fans a couple of minutes for
leaving the tribunes.
