Mamuka Bakhtadze: Occupation started in the early 1990s when our citizens were forced to leave their homes
2019-08-08 Today, several people asked when the occupation started. It started in the early 1990s when our citizens were forced to leave their homes, Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze stated today at the refugee settlement in Gori.
480 refugee families live in the refugee settlement on Antzukhelidze Street, Gori. "The construction of this settlement launched two years ago. Providing refugees with residential spaces is a top priority. In 2019 and 2020, 200 more refugee families will receive apartments. This settlement, for the most part, consists of our citizens who were forced to leave their homes in the early 1990s. They lived in unbearable conditions two years ago. We are developing infrastructure in this section of Gori. There is a kindergarten problem, which we have already included in the budget, and a new kindergarten will be built here next year. There is also an unemployment issue. We have pledged to our population, and this problem will be gradually solved," Mamuka Bakhtadze stated.
