Protesters rallied in Georgia’s capital for a fourth straight night on Sunday and there were signs that opposition was spreading across the country to the government’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Tuesday that an attempt to stage what he called a "revolution" in the country had failed, after a fifth successive night of protests against a decision to suspend talks to join the European Union.
