"The group was preparing a number of armed provocations on the territory of Georgia to destabilize the situation," police said in a statement. The Georgian Foreign Ministry said on Friday that leaders of the People's Assembly party had planned to arm protesters calling for the resignation of President Mikheil Saakashvili. Riot police used water cannons, rubber bullets and teargas to disperse opposition activists who gathered late on Wednesday on Tbilisi's main street in an attempt to prevent an Independence Day military parade.
