MOSCOW, October 1 (RIA Novosti) - Around 20 people have gathered outside the Georgian embassy in Moscow in an authorized protest against Tbilisi's recent arrests of Russian officers.

The protestors gathered at around 12:00 Moscow time [8:00 a.m. GMT].

Russia has withdrawn most of its diplomats from the South Caucasus country's capital following Georgian authorities' arrests of five Russian servicemen on Wednesday on spying charges, which has sparked a diplomatic row between the ex-Soviet neighbors.
