Georgian police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse pro-European demonstrators in Tbilisi, who are protesting for the sixth day in a row.

Water cannons briefly caused panic, but protesters quickly resumed firing pyrotechnics and fireworks at police, who then fired tear gas.

Several thousand people gathered today in Tbilisi and other cities of Georgia for demonstrations against the government, which they consider to be pro-Russian and anti-European.

The street demonstrations, which brought together thousands of protesters for several nights in a row, were triggered by the government's decision to delay the country's ambitions to join the European Union until 2028.

Georgia, a former Soviet republic, has been in turmoil since parliamentary elections held on October 26, won by the ruling Georgian Dream party in power since 2012. However, the opposition has denounced election irregularities and is boycotting the work of the new parliament.

The Constitutional Court of Georgia rejected today the request for annulment of the parliamentary elections.
