President Aslan Bzhania has offered to resign and hold snap elections if the protesters vacate the premises, but opposition leaders demand his unconditional resignation. The unrest highlights concerns over increased property prices and Moscow's influence in the region, which is recognized as independent by Russia but not by most of the world.
