National Unity Day in Georgia: EU joins commemoration of those who died for independence
Yesterday, the European Union Delegation to Georgia joined the country in honouring the legacy of 9 April 1989, calling this day “the symbolic end of Soviet rule”.
On 9 April 1989, the Soviet army brutally suppressed an anti-Soviet independence demonstration, killing 21 people and injuring hundreds. This day is now remembered as National Unity Day.
“Today, we commemorate those who gave their lives for Georgia’s independence. Generations of Georgian citizens continue to protect that independence resolutely,” the EU Delegation to Georgia said in a statement on Facebook.
