Statement of the Prime Minister concerning the terrorist attack against peaceful demonstrators in Kabul

2016-07-24

We strongly condemn the terrorist attack against peaceful demonstrators in the capital of Afghanistan Kabul on the July 23, 2016. As a result of the attack more than eighty people were killed and hundreds were injured. In these challenging times the Government of Georgia extends its heartfelt condolences to the Afghan Government and the families of the victims.

We believe that this attack and other similar actions aimed against freedom, peace and innocent people represent greatest crime against humanity. We hope that as a result of the joint efforts of the international community, elimination of violent extremism and restoration of security across the world will become possible.

Georgia supports the Afghan Government's countermeasures aimed at eradication of the challenges faced by the country and reinforcement of its stability and security.

Prime Minister of Georgia
Giorgi Kvirikashvili
