Following the thousands-strong protests this weekend, Georgian opposition leader Nino Burdzhanadze has claimed that a revolution provoked by the government has started in the country. Around 2,000 people protested near the Georgian Public Broadcaster’s offices in the capital, Tbilisi, on Sunday. They were demanding the current government’s resignation in order to conduct early parliamentary and presidential elections. “We had a lot of problems during the pre-rally period. The government resorted to terrorist methods, terrorizing our supporters. They were kidnapping people. They have arrested hundreds of people; tens of people have been injured and beaten,” former speaker of the parliament and leader of the Democratic Movement-United Georgia Party, Nino Burdzhanadze stated. Reportedly, demonstrators used stones and heavy sticks against the police forces; dozens of demonstrators were arrested.
