Georgia s ruling party has annulled an EU-brokered deal with the opposition after three months, putting the Caucasus nation on a path to deeper political crisis.
The leader of the Georgian Dream party, Irakli Kobakhidze, on July 28 blamed the opposition for the agreement s failure, saying more than half of opposition lawmakers had still not joined the deal.
Georgia was plunged into political paralysis after Georgian Dream won the parliamentary elections in October, in a vote the opposition said was unfair and fraudulent. A group of opposition parties then boycotted parliament and staged protests demanding new elections.
