“Seven hundred thousand Georgians fought in the Great Patriotic War, a third of whom perished. Our sacred duty is to pay them the respect they deserve and preserve the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. It does not matter which republic those who went off to war were from. They defended our common Fatherland and made a priceless contribution to the war against Nazism, our common enemy.”
