MOSCOW, December 2. /TASS/. The current developments in Georgia are a domestic affair of this country, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told reporters.

"What is happening is Georgia's domestic affair," the deputy minister said when asked about the situation concerning the protests in the republic.

A new wave of anti-government rallies began in Georgia on November 28, triggered by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze saying that the ruling Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia party had decided to postpone any talk about launching EU accession negotiations until late 2028 and decline any funding from the European Union. According to the premier, the decision comes after repeated attempts by the EU to blackmail Georgia with promises of launching the talks in exchange for Tbilisi revoking certain laws passed by the country’s parliament.
