Pawel Herczynski, the EU Ambassador to Georgia, visited the April 9 Memorial on Rustaveli Avenue, where he laid a wreath and paid tribute to the victims.

“April 9 is a painful reminder of Soviet troop violence against peaceful demonstrators, whose defiance became a symbol of Georgia’s pursuit of freedom, dignity and independence.

We honour those who lost their lives before witnessing the restoration of independence just two years later.

The EU reaffirms its steadfast support for Georgia’s sovereignty – a hard-won achievement that generations of Georgians continue to uphold,” the EU Delegation to Georgia wrote on Facebook.

This year marks 37 years since the April 9 tragedy.
