The state of emergency was decreed only in Tbilisi, Nogaideli added. "Naturally, temporary restrictions concern demonstrations and the media calling for disturbances, violence and violent overthrow of the authorities," Nogaideli said. "As soon as order is restored, the state of emergency will be lifted, and the media will resume its work," Nogaideli said. Georgian commandoes dispersed an opposition rally in Tbilisi on Wednesday. Saakashvili said the leadership of the country "will do everything to prevent mass disturbances." |
