Georgian protesters block access road to Black Sea port of Poti, Interpress reports
Dec 1, 2024 7:11 AM

TBILISI, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Georgian anti-government

protesters on Sunday blocked an access road into the country's

main commercial port in the Black Sea city of Poti, Georgian

news agency Interpress reported.

Images showed at least one entrance to the port complex

blocked by protesters demonstrating against the ruling party's

announcement on Thursday that it was suspending talks on joining

the European Union for four years.

Reuters was unable to verify the extent to which the port

remains accessible.

The port is owned and operated by APM Terminals, a

Dutch-based unit of Danish shipping company Maersk.

It is the largest sea port in Georgia, handling 80% of the

country's container traffic, according to the port's website.
