Georgia has no plans to restore diplomatic relations with Russia. This was stated by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze after his ruling party, Georgian Dream, won the majority of votes in the parliamentary elections.

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, along with the opposition parties, did not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections held on October 26. She declared them "total falsification" and called on the population not to recognize the results of the vote either. In addition, Zurabishvili announced a protest action near the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue on October 28 at 19:00.

The collection of signatures to initiate a referendum on Armenia's accession to the EU has been completed. Instead of the required 50 thousand signatures, 60 thousand have been collected. They will be transferred to the Central Electoral Commission of Armenia, which, after appropriate checks, will send them to the country's parliament for consideration.

Georgia's ruling party, Georgian Dream, has gained 54.2% of the votes in the parliamentary elections after counting the results from 97.01% of the polling stations. However, this is not enough for a constitutional majority.

Videos of fights near polling stations in Tbilisi, Zugdidi and the village of Kiziladzhlo in the Dmanisi district are circulating online. Pro-Russian activists are fighting with opposition supporters in front of the parliament.

During the parliamentary elections in Georgia in Marneuli, an attempt was recorded to stuff several ballots into the ballot box at once. As a result, voting was abolished at polling station No. 69, the country's Central Election Commission reported.

The Georgian authorities have received signals from Western partners that relations with the republic will be rebooted after the parliamentary elections. This was announced by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

Nothing has changed in the relations between Armenia and Belarus. This was stated by the secretary of the parliamentary faction of the ruling party of Armenia, Hovhannisyan, commenting on the short meeting of the leaders of the countries - Lukashenko and Pashinyan - on the sidelines of the BRICS summit, which took place on October 24 in Kazan.

Russian military personnel committed 187 crimes in the Kursk region, including murders and rapes. This was stated by the commander of the special forces "Akhmat", deputy head of the Main Directorate for Military-Political Work of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Apti Alaudinov. These statistics were announced to him by the head of the UMVD for the Kursk region, Alaudinov said, claiming that the fighters of his unit were not involved in these crimes. More details - in our video report.

If Georgian Dream wins the parliamentary elections on October 26, not only representatives of opposition parties but also the country's president could be sent to prison. This was stated by Salome Zurabishvili herself.
