A new and quite shocking element was the meetings with the parents of political prisoners, the only similar stories I have heard from Belarusian people, the former Lithuanian Foreign Minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, at a press conference during his visit to Tbilisi.

According to him, Georgia has real fighters for freedom.

“I am very glad that I had the opportunity to meet with President Zurabishvili, members of the opposition and members of NGOs.

A new and quite shocking element during my meetings was the meetings with the parents and relatives of political prisoners. New, because I had never met them during my previous visits to Georgia, I did not think that I would ever have to meet them, because this group did not exist in Georgia. I think that they, unfortunately, best represent the direction of this country.

First of all, you have real fighters for freedom. We all like to use this term, but our fight is more often on social media than anywhere else. In this case, the fight for freedom is very real. It was very difficult to hear the stories, the only people I have heard such stories from are Belarusians,” Landsbergis said.
