Seventy-five years have passed since this small nation sacrificed 300,000 heroes for this victory, for the victory of the forces of the healthy world over fascism, the great evil, stated Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia in Vake Park, where he laid flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier together with Defense Minister Irakli Gharibashvili in connection with Victory Day over Fascism.
According to the head of government, it is important that everyone remembers the magnitude of Georgia's contribution to this victory, in terms of the lives of Georgians.
"For small Georgia to sacrifice 300,000 young men - even for a great victory - remains a great tragedy and an enormous contribution. Therefore, we must always remember and pay our respects, while also reminding others who have forgotten the magnitude of Georgia's contribution to this victory, in terms of the lives of Georgians. This is very important. We must remember this, and we must always remind the others. First and foremost, we must honor their memory, but the most important ones in this story are our meritorious veterans, who are already at an age where caring for them must be our daily duty. Therefore, I congratulate them first and foremost - the state cares for them and will continue to do so," Giorgi Gakharia stated.
