Georgia’s Ruling Party Should Call Off Its Crackdown on Dissent | Crisis Group
The Georgian government’s decision to suspend its bid to join the European Union has sparked countrywide protests. Tbilisi should halt its violent response and engage with the political opposition to define a way forward. Western states should target responses to avoid harm to ordinary Georgians.
