Escalation threatens in Georgia: pro-Russian president sworn in today, but old one refuses to leave

The political crisis in Georgia threatens to escalate further on Sunday with the inauguration of new President Mikheil Kavelashvili. He was elected two weeks ago by an electoral college, but incumbent President Salome Zurabishvili does not recognize that vote and has no plans to resign. It is unclear what happens if she refuses to leave the palace.
