Thousands of protesters returned to the Georgian parliament to demand early legislative elections and the resignation of the country's interior minister. The June 21 demonstration came a day after violent clashes between opposition protesters and riot police on the streets of Tbilisi. The unrest was sparked by a Russian member of parliament being allowed to sit in the speaker's chair of the Georgian Parliament during an assembly of legislators from Orthodox Christian countries.
