The opposition protests that started in Georgia on May 21 continued throughout this week. Protesters demand the resignation of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, who has lost the U.S. backing he had until quite recently. After what happened in the Middle East during recent months, many believe that we are witnessing a new revolution. Alexei Vlasov, editor-in-chief of the information and analytical Internet portal vestikavkaza.ru in an interview with RIA Novosti’s Mikhail Yousef says the current developments in Georgia are only part of an internecine conflict within the elite and can’t be described a revolution.
