Georgia suspends talks on joining the EU
GEORGIA is suspending talks on its bid to join the European Union for four years, its prime minister said on Thursday.
This comes after what Irakli Kobakhidze described as “blackmail and manipulation” from some of the bloc’s politicians after his Georgian Dream party won last month’s parliamentary election.
The outcome of the election sparked protests across the country and led to an opposition boycott of parliament.
