TBILISI (Reuters) -Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Sunday that protesters who sought to force entry to the presidential palace the previous evening had been trying to topple the government and accused the European Union of meddling in Georgia's affairs.
Georgian riot police used pepper spray and water cannons to drive demonstrators away from the presidential palace in the capital Tbilisi on Saturday, and detained five activists, as the opposition staged a large demonstration on a day of local elections.
