President Zourabichvili pays tribute to heroes who died in Abkhazia war
The President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, paid tribute to the memory of those who died for territorial integrity in Abkhazia war.
"Today is the most tragic day in the history of independent Georgia. For this day, the memory of the fallen heroes is an obligation for us, for all of us, and this memory should never be lost.
Almost 30 years have passed, this is one generation, and this one generation showed us all, and I think it showed the people of Abkhazia, that these almost 30 years did not bring anything, not for the culture and language of Abkhazia, not for its economy, not for development, and this is What the young generation living in Abkhazia realizes is that Russian occupation does not bring anything.
Today we must be ready to see and show that a new time is beginning, a new perspective, a new relationship and we must think about it. Mourning is not necessary, mourning is necessary to know what our past is, but we cannot live in mourning, we must live for the future, and I am sure that this future will bring us many things soon. We see this when the population there comes out on the issue of Bichvinti, when they react to the mobilization, these are all signs that we should read carefully," said the President.
On September 27, 29 years have passed since the fall of Sokhumi.
