PM: ‘Appropriate Measures’ Used against Protesters

Police has undertaken “appropriate measures” to unblock the capital city Tbilisi’s main thoroughfare, Prime Minister Zurab Nogaideli said.

“An appropriate measure have been undertaken to unblock the Rustaveli Avenue,” he said after riot police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters outside the parliament.

“These measures are usually used in the western countries. Hence the country continues its normal life. It was essential to unblock the Rustaveli Avenue. Healthcare Minister will coordinate measures directed towards treatment of those who have been injured,” he added but failed to specify how many people were injured.
