Thousands of Georgians have taken to the streets for the sixth consecutive night after the ruling Georgian Dream party’s move to suspend the nation’s bid to join the European Union reignited opposition to the government.

Thousands of demonstrators in the Georgian capital converged on parliament again on Tuesday, venting outrage against the governing party's decision to suspend negotiations 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.

Protests overtook the streets of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, after the government paused its efforts to join the European Union.
