Georgian police fire teargas at pro-EU protesters as political crisis deepens
Briefly

Thousands of pro-EU demonstrators took to the streets of Tbilisi, protesting against the government's decision to shelve EU accession talks amid claims of electoral fraud.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze emphasized there will be no negotiations with the opposition, asserting that protests were funded from abroad, dismissing the possibility of revolution.
As protests intensified for a fifth night, riot police clashed with demonstrators in central Tbilisi, using teargas to disperse crowds unhappy with the government's EU stance.
Opposition lawmakers are boycotting the parliament, while the pro-EU president seeks to invalidate the election results in the constitutional court amid ongoing political turmoil.
