Georgia: Thousands call for president to quit
None
Thousands of opposition demonstrators rallied in the capital of ex-Soviet Georgia Sunday calling on President Mikhail Saakashvili to step down.
Opposition accuses the US-educated and pro-Western leader of corruption and a crackdown on democratic reforms. "This is the beginning of decisive fight for liberation of Georgia from Saakashvili," former world chess champion and opposition leader Nona Gaprindashvili told the crowd. She said the protests will last for five days. (AP)
