Georgian opposition to resume protests in September

Georgia's opposition will resume its protest action across the country in September, the Conservative Party said in a statement on Wednesday.

TBILISI, June 29 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia's opposition will resume its protest action across the country in September, the Conservative Party said in a statement on Wednesday.

Fourteen leading non-parliamentary opposition parties and political organizations had been protesting in Georgia since April 9, demanding that President Mikheil Saakashvili resign over his failure to carry out democratic reforms and last August's disastrous war with Russia.

The protests were suspended during the visit of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden to Georgia on July 22-23.

The party said a schedule for the protests will be agreed at a later date. By the end of this summer opposition leaders are due to hold a number of meetings in the country's regions.
