Georgian opposition planning national disobedience
Georgian opposition plans to announce civil disobedience nationwide, one of the opposition leaders Gubaz Sanikidze said.

"As of tomorrow we raise an alarm and declare mobilization. Protests will be held all across Georgia. If necessary, we will declare civil disobedience," another opposition leader Kaha Shartava said.

On Monday, Mikheil Saakashvili and opposition leaders held a meeting. According to the latest reports the talks proved futile.

Former parliament speaker Nino Burjanadze said the opposition will not wait until 2013. "We will defend our national interests," she said, Novosti Georgia reported.
