Georgia s PM resigns over move to arrest opposition leader

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) Georgia’s prime minister announced his resignation Thursday following a court ruling that ordered the arrest of a man who leads the ex-Soviet nation’s top opposition party. Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia said in a televised address that he was stepping down because of disagreements within his own team over the decision to arrest Nika Melia, chairman of the United National Movement opposition party. Gakharia said arresting the opposition leader could lead to further escalation of political crisis and threaten the well-being of the country’s citizens. “Unfortunately, I could not reach a consensus with my team on this issue. I decided to resign,” the prime minister said.
