Mothers of killed Abkhazian soldiers to visit Tbilisi
On June 18 it is planned to sanctify a church under the memory of killed Georgian and Abkhazian soldiers during the Abkhazian war, Rezonansi writes. Refugee Congress invited the guests from Abkhazia who are family members of soldiers killed in the Abkhazian war in 1992-93. The idea of constructing the church under those soldiers name was dreamt up by the Catholicos Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II and Refugee Congress. Overall, about 4200 Georgians and 3500 Abkhazians died in the war.
“Despite the facts that in this war Georgians and Abkhazians were fighting each other, we came to one idea to construct a church under those soldiers names, and this will be the first step towards reconciliation. We are expecting 20 guests from Abkhazia, however I cannot name them for safety reasons. Not many people but some Abkhazians think that it is time for reconciliation and they voice this issue openly. A joint church is being built for our reconciliation,” Zurab Shamugia, representative of Refugee Council, stated.
