Tens of thousands march in Georgia 'for Europe' after blow to EU bid

Description

Tens of thousands of Georgians take to the streets of Tbilisi in support of the country's EU membership bid, after the European Commission recommended deferring Georgia's candidacy. EU leaders are expected to decide by Friday on granting candidate status to Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, which all applied for EU membership shortly after Moscow invaded Ukraine on February 24. Waving Georgian and EU flags, an estimated 60,000 demonstrators gather outside Georgian parliament for the "March for Europe". IMAGES
