Embassy Yerevan Warden Message 1

Elections are taking place in Georgia on January 5. Rallies and demonstrations may occur spontaneously throughout Georgia for the next several days in conjunction with the elections. While rallies and demonstrations are intended to be peaceful, we wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid any areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. American citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and be aware of their surroundings at all times. Information on upcoming demonstrations can be found at the following website: http://georgia.usembassy.gov/citserv_wardenm.html. American citizens in Tbilisi may also tune in to Radio Syndicati at FM 104.3 or throughout Georgia at Radio Green Wave at FM 107.4 for updated US Embassy warden message information for US citizens.
