Georgia's ruling party said the country needed to be calmed down. Calming the country is the new definition of dictatorship. Such calm reigns in the cemetery. This was stated by ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili at the next court hearing in Tbilisi.

The ruling Georgian Dream party, which recently adopted an unpopular law on foreign agents, may have relations with the Russian authorities and intelligence services. Revealing such connections among the Georgian elite would serve to undermine claims that it is defending the country's sovereignty and independence. This statement was made by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, citing a source in Washington.

The Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Estonia proposed that the European Union impose sanctions against Georgia due to the adoption of the law on foreign agents. Among the proposed measures are the abolition of the visa-free regime in the EU for Georgian citizens, the freezing of funding for a number of programs and targeted sanctions against officials.

Armenia was heavily dependent on the Russian Federation, including on arms supplies. Reliance on one supplier is not safe. This was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan. He noted that Yerevan currently has 4-5 main arms import partners.

In Tbilisi, university students marched against the bill on foreign agents. Later, a larger student march was announced. Earlier, at a protest rally, participants burned the flags of the Russian Federation and the ruling Georgian Dream party near the parliament building in the capital.

The Georgian authorities can receive military support, economic assistance and visa liberalization from the United States. In return, it is important for Tbilisi to show progress on the path to democracy, POLITICO reports.

Targeted sanctions from Western countries are urgently needed in relation to the pro-Russian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili and his entourage from the ruling Georgian Dream party. Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili stated this in an interview with Newsweek.

In Paris, they are hysterically looking for a place for a new New Caledonia, choosing between Georgia and Armenia. If France can free anyone, it is the Kanaks from the French yoke. This is what Russian Foreign Ministry representative Zakharova wrote in her TG channel.

Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan sent a telegram of condolences to the spiritual leader of Iran Ali Khamenei in connection with the death of the country's President Ebrahim Raisi and the delegation accompanying him. The Armenian prime minister wished strength and perseverance to the government and people of Iran.

Near the parliament building in Tbilisi, protesters burned the flags of the Russian Federation and the ruling Georgian Dream party. The participants again opposed the adoption of the law on foreign agents, which is called pro-Russian.
