The occupation is not forgotten! We will never get used to it and we will never accept it!, – the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, writes about this in the social media and responds to the war of August 2008.
President Zurabishvili says Georgia will resolutely resist any destabilization attempts.
“August contains a tragic memory for the history of Georgia. 16 years since the last invasion of Russia, the occupation is not forgotten! We will never get used to it and we will never accept it!
“Georgia will firmly remain on its European path and will resolutely resist any destabilization attempts,” Zurabishvili wrote.
16 years have passed since the August war when Russia invaded 20% of Georgia’s territory, which still remains occupied.
