“We are here today to show everyone that independence unites the Georgian people, and that the Georgian people will defend their independence today, tomorrow, and always,” Georgia’s fifth president, Salome Zurabishvili, said to journalists on Rustaveli Avenue.

According to her, people’s mood and unity are very important.

“At this moment, I am not interested in the so-called ruling team. I am interested in the people and in our shared mood today. We are here today to show everyone that independence unites the Georgian people, and that the Georgian people will defend their independence today, tomorrow, and always.

This evening at 21:00, I will make my statement. If you are interested in my opinions, reactions, and calls, I encourage everyone to listen. Right now, I am walking among the people on Rustaveli Avenue, because this mood and unity are very important,” Salome Zurabishvili said.
