Demonstrations are taking place in Tbilisi on Rustaveli Avenue in front of Parliament since November 2. We 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 the 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. Upcoming demonstration information follows at the following website: http://georgia.usembassy.gov/citserv_wardenm.html
