據(jù)自由歐洲電臺報道，目擊者稱憤怒的極端民族主義者沖進了Kiwi 咖啡館，這是一家不提供肉類和魚類食品的咖啡館。據(jù)描述，他們脖子上掛著香腸，手拿烤肉和烤魚串。

據(jù)自由歐洲電臺報道，當(dāng)時沖突蔓延到外面街上,鄰居們也加入戰(zhàn)斗。根本分不清誰在打誰。此沖突造成輕微的傷亡。

On the café Facebook page, staff described the attackers as neo-Nazis. Employees were quoted as linking the attackers to the skinhead group called Georgian Power.

在該咖啡館的臉書首頁，員工們將這些襲擊者描述為新納粹分子。有關(guān)這個被稱為格魯吉亞力量的光頭黨組織，員工們也做了筆錄。

Facebook貼文上說,在此沖突發(fā)生前幾周，極端分子們就曾向鄰居詢問餐廳的情況。他們問餐廳是否是外國人的地方或者客戶是否是同性戀,女同性戀,雙性戀或變性人。

One witness wrote that the attackers ate grilled meat in front of customers. The post said the attackers also threw meat, sausages and fish. A fight between customers and attackers started after the food was thrown.

一些人將此餐館事件與新一輪的文化戰(zhàn)爭關(guān)聯(lián)起來。一方面是年輕人尋求接近西歐及其生活方式。

On the other side are neo-Nazis or skinheads, who resist influence from Western culture in the former Soviet bloc country.

另一方面是新納粹分子或者叫光頭黨，在這個前蘇聯(lián)集團國家抵制西方文化的影響。
