Protests have been ongoing in Tbilisi for 10 days, with thousands of demonstrators marching through the streets and security forces firing tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds. The interior ministry reports that 48 individuals have been detained for disobedience to lawful police orders.

    1. We condemn the violence against protesters & regret signals from ruling party not to pursue Georgia's path to EU and democratic backsliding of the country.
    2. It is clear that using violence against peacefulprotesters is not acceptable, and the Georgian government shouldrespect the will of the Georgian people.
    3. When it comes to the European Union, then thisclearly has consequences on our relationship with Georgia.
    1. We have won an important battle against liberal fascism in our country.
    1. We have seen similar events in a number of countries. Probably the most direct parallel is the events of Maidan in Ukraine. All signs (are) of attempting to carry out an Orange Revolution.
    1. We reiterate our call to the Georgian government to return to its Euro-Atlantic path, transparently investigate all parliamentary election irregularities, and repeal anti-democratic laws that limit freedoms of assembly and expression.
