TBILISI – Crowds of demonstrators gathered in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Friday to mark 365 days of non-stop protests against the government's decision to halt talks on joining the European Union.

Carrying drums, whistles, placards and flags, thousands of protesters marched along Rustaveli Avenue, the city’s central thoroughfare.

The daily protests began on Nov. 28, 2024, when Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the country was halting talks on joining the EU.

Thousands of protesters poured into the streets following Kobakhidze’s speech, rallying outside the parliament building in Tbilisi and staging demonstrations in other cities.

While the size of the rallies has since fallen, demonstrators have continued to gather each day.
