TBILISI, June 3 (Reuters) - Georgia’s parliamentary speaker signed into law on Monday a bill on “foreign agents” that has caused a political crisis in the South Caucasus country and drawn sharp criticism from its Western allies.
The dispute around the law is a test of whether Georgia, for three decades among the more pro-Western of the Soviet Union’s successor states, will maintain its Western orientation or move closer to Russia.
Isn’t it interesting how the riots stopped just after the law was passed? Almost as if the money tap was turned off once it became clear the battle was lost…
Same with HK back then. Like magic.
