We all remember this day marking a major tragedy for our country and population. On this day, June 13, many citizens died, and today we honor them and their memory. Once again, I extend my sympathy to their families. It is an enormous tragedy, indeed, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili stated at the memorial commemorating the victims of June 13-14, 2015 natural disaster in Vere Gorge.
Together with Tbilisi Mayor Kakhi Kaladze and Chairman of the Tbilisi Municipal Assembly Giorgi Tkemaladze, the Head of Government laid a wreath at the memorial and extended his condolences to the families of the victims.
