Thousands Rally Against Russian Annexation of Georgia

Tens of thousands of Georgians took to the streets of the capital Tbilisi on November 15, accusing Russia of attempting to annex parts of the country. The rally was organized by the United National Movement party, which has accused the country’s ruling party of failing to confront Russia’s annexation ambitions.
