ALBAWABA - Russian government accused foreign countries of being responsible for triggering the latest protests in Georgia.
Russia said that protests in Georgia are similar to an attempted coup designed to sow tension on Moscow's borders.
Russia is trying to keep Georgia dependent on it. Putin aims to govern Georgia through his marionette politician Bidzina Ivanishvili.
