Protesters clash with Georgian police on EU application delay
The country’s interior ministry said three police officers were injured, according to Reuters news agency.
Police ordered protesters to disperse, fired water cannon and deployed pepper spray and tear gas as masked young people tried to smash their way into the parliament.
