Riot police in Tbilisi have used tear gas and water cannon 1 to disperse 2 demonstrators protesting for the sixth day against Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. VOA's Peter Fedynsky reports from Moscow.
Riot police used water cannon, tear gas and batons 3 to disperse demonstrators from the area around the parliament building in Tbilisi, the scene of six days of mass protests against Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. People fled the area with not only inflamed 4 eyes, but inflamed passions, denouncing the Georgian leader as a dictator.
Opposition 5 activist 6 Ivlian Khaindrava compared him to Bolsheviks, who seized power in Russia exactly 90 years ago.
"This action of the government will cause the new wave of the mass protest in this country, which may lead to the end of this government which probably today celebrates the 90th anniversary of Great October Socialistic Revolution, being real neo-Bolsheviks," he said.
Interior Minister Spokesman Shota Utiashvili told VOA that force was needed, because the crowd was getting out of control.
Utiashvili says a group of demonstrators attacked the police and broke through the police cordon 7. So we had to call in Special Forces, who used tear gas and dispersed 8 the demonstration 9.
Protests against Mr. Saakashvili began on Friday, with at least 50,000 people demanding electoral reforms and early parliamentary elections. Since then, crowds have been smaller, but opposition demands have escalated 10 to include the president's resignation.
The Georgian leader has refused the demands, saying parliamentary and presidential elections will be held as scheduled at the end of 2008. Mr. Shaakashvili blames what he calls dark forces manipulated by Russia of being behind the demonstrations 11. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has rejected the accusation 12 as a farce 13.
The Georgian demonstrations broke out following accusations 14 against President Saakashvili by his former ally and defense 15 minister, Irakli Okruashvili. He accused the president of corruption 16 and involvement in a murder plot against a prominent businessman. He then retracted 17 the charge, but reinstated it Tuesday in Germany, saying he had been under duress 18.
Prosecutors 19 say they will revoke 20 Okruashvili's $6 million bail 21 if he does not respond to a summons. Georgian officials earlier said Okruashvili left Georgia for unspecified medical treatment abroad. Opposition members say he was forced to leave.
