Protests in Georgia Enter Third Week

AUTHOR:M.J. GDNUS

Pro-European demonstrations in Georgia, which gather several thousand people in Tbilisi every evening, entered their third week today, with no change in government so far.

Georgia, a former Soviet republic, is in turmoil after parliamentary elections, after which the ruling Georgian Dream party declared victory. However, the opposition has condemned election irregularities and is boycotting the work of the new parliament.

Protesters also accuse the government of giving up on the country's ambitions to join the EU.

Several thousand people gathered again in front of the parliament in Tbilisi for the 15th consecutive evening. Many protesters waved EU and Georgian flags, while others blocked traffic on Tbilisi's main avenue, Beta reports.
