Opposition revolts for almost a week, authorities refuse re-elections

Protests have been going on for more than a week in Georgia over the suspension of European integration talks and the opposition's disagreement with the results of parliamentary elections. On separate days, protesters have tried to set fire to the Georgian parliament building and damaged dozens of offices, and law enforcement agencies have had to use tear gas.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that another attempt to organize a revolution and implement the scenario of the Ukrainian Maidan had failed in the country. He promised that the organizers of the protests would not be able to escape responsibility. During this period, searches were also conducted in the office of the opposition party "Akhali", one of its leaders Nika Gvaramia was detained.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the events in Georgia its internal affair. In his assessment, the protests in the country are an attempt to sway the situation.
