Kremlin: concerned by Georgia unrest, not involved in 'foreign agents' law

The Kremlin on Thursday expressed concern over unrest in Georgia after two nights of violent clashes between police and protesters over the country's plans to introduce a "foreign agents" bill that critics say is modelled on a Russian law.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was not involved in any way with the proposal, which the Georgian government said on Thursday it would withdraw from parliament following the protests.
