MOSCOW, September 29 (RIA Novosti) - Police cordoned off the Georgian Embassy in Moscow Friday after young ultranationalists tried to hold an unsanctioned meeting near the building.
The meeting was convened in protest against Georgian authorities, who charged four Russian officers with espionage Friday morning. Russian peacekeepers elsewhere in the country were reportedly also assaulted.
A group of six young members of Russia's Liberal Democratic Party tried to approach the guarded building of the Georgian Embassy, carrying the party's flags and shouting "Shame on Saakashvili!" in reference to President Mikheil Saakashvili.
About 50 people, including journalists and police, have gathered near the building. Police said they did not know when the cordon could be lifted.
