TBILISI, Georgia — Georgia said it had ended a brief mutiny at a military base near the capital on Tuesday that broke out after the arrest of a former special forces commander accused of planning to disrupt NATO exercises.
President Mikhail Saakashvili said in a televised address that the mutiny was an isolated case and the situation in the country was fully under control.
"I personally led negotiations with the mutineers and suggested they turn in their weapons and give themselves up to police" and had suggested force could be used if they declined, he said.
