Yet, the spirit of Georgian freedom is irrepressible. The United States continues to stand with the Georgian people, who show incredible courage and dedication to the cause of democracy and a Euro-Atlantic future.

Student rally has started.

#Shame Georgian Dream are not ashamed of themselves

The Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, made a statement:
