Protestors in Georgia on Friday demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili after the country was not given "candidate" status by the European Union.
During the demonstration in the national capital of Tbilisi in front of the parliament, protestors blamed the government for "failing" to obtain the status at an EU Summit on June 23.
In the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, thousands of people took to the streets to demonstrate their support for country's EU membership bid.
