Parliament of Georgia adopted the law on "foreign agents" in the first reading.

They voted only for the first option — "On transparency of foreign influence", 76 deputies voted in favor, 13 against.

Voting on the second option, which is called "On registration of foreign agents", will take place on Thursday.

The voting took place against the background of a protest by opposition deputies in the parliament building, and actions outside. Rustaveli Avenue is blocked by protesters who claim that the Georgian authorities are "following the Russian path".

The US Embassy made an extraordinary statement, declaring the "black day of Georgian democracy".

Police used tear gas against protesters in front of parliament.
