March 31 is a special day in the recent history of Georgia! On March 31, 1991, a general referendum was held, in which all of Georgia - including the population of Abkhazia and Samachablo - unanimously, for the world to hear, voted for a sovereign future for Georgia, - the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze noted.
According to Irakli Kobakhidze, the March 31 referendum created an unshakable legal foundation on which the modern Georgian state is based.
"It is our duty to take care of this invaluable achievement, to protect and strengthen the statehood that the 1991 referendum strengthened," - the Prime Minister of Georgia stated.
