Everyone had a duty to avoid this war for the sake of their homeland, but this was not done. Let's wait for the investigation, - Mikheil Kavelashvili told journalists about the August war.

According to him, everyone has a duty to protect the security of their homeland and "people should not take refuge in the heroism of our heroic soldiers".

"We are a state where each institution has its own obligation - we must separate this. A soldier has his own duty and obligation. Heads of state, institutions, authorities, be it the president, the executive branch or so on, we all have an obligation to the homeland. The main obligation is to fulfill our role to the homeland. It is our duty to protect the homeland and the interests of our homeland. We all have our obligation to prevent our homeland from being in danger. First of all, this is security, so that our homeland is not in danger and is not under the threat of war, this is the obligation of the state. Therefore, those people should not take refuge in the heroism of our heroic soldiers. Everyone had their obligation to prevent this war for the homeland, but this was not done. Let's wait for the investigation.

We are a legal state, we are respectful of our institutions. Let's wait for the investigation to the end and everyone's role will be exposed. Mostly, young people who say that they were little at the time, some were in kindergarten, some did not know what was happening, when the investigation is completed, they will have the opportunity to learn the truth. This is our obligation," Kavelashvili said.
