The Georgian national flags have been lowered at the governmental, administrative and diplomatic missions’ buildings across the country in connection with the 99th anniversary of Day of Soviet Occupation of Georgia.

The flags are lowered in remembrance of hundreds of thousands of victims of occupation.

On February 25 in 1921, Georgia lost its independence after the Russian Red Army took over Tbilisi.

The Day of Soviet Occupation is officially marked in Georgia after the Parliament unanimously passed a relevant resolution in 2010.
