Hundreds of people are demonstrating outside government headquarters in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, urging authorities to halt talks with Russia in the wake of recent claims that Russia is seizing more Georgian territory. The Saturday demonstration came after Georgia said this week that Russian forces in the breakaway Georgian territory of South Ossetia have pushed the de facto border nearly a kilometer (a half-mile) into its territory, leaving a section of an international oil pipeline under Russian control.
