International media writes about the rallies held in Georgia yesterday.

“Tens of thousands of Georgians took to the streets Monday in support of the country’s EU membership bid, days after the European Commission recommended deferring Tbilisi’s candidacy. Waving Georgian, Ukrainian, and EU flags, an estimated 60,000 demonstrators gathered outside the Georgian parliament on Monday evening for the “March for Europe”.

Many held placards that read “We are Europe” as the EU anthem, the Ode to Joy, was performed at the demonstration”, - writes France24.

“Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi on Monday to demand EU membership for the former Soviet republic in the Caucasus.

“Europe is a historic choice and aspiration for Georgians, for which all generations have made sacrifices. Freedom, peace, sustainable economic development, protection of human rights and justice are values that unite us all and would be guaranteed by integration into the European Union”, - the organisers said in the statement”, - writes Euronews.
