Shalva Papuashvili: Unlike the 20s of the last century, today we are much stronger, we have the strength and we have the goal of ending the occupation

Unlike in the 20s of the last century, today we are much stronger, we have the strength and we have the goal to end the occupation, - the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia Shalva Papuashvili writes about this on the social network.

According to Papuashvili, "this day is one of the most difficult and tragic in the history of Georgia - the defeat of the First Republic of Georgia against the Soviet regime and the occupation of the Georgian state."

"Despite the great efforts of Georgian patriots, the then newly created republic was not able to deal with the evil force that destroyed the prospects of development and freedom for our country.

The occupation continues today. After the restoration of independence, Georgia again had to enter into an unequal struggle. Even today, the indigenous part of our state is occupied.

In contrast to the 20s of the last century, today we are much stronger, sovereign and self-confident. We will have the strength and we have a goal to end the occupation, unify the country and further strengthen the sovereignty of the Georgian state", Papuashvili wrote on the social network.
