Junkers, heroic Georgians who fought against Russia’s Red Army in 1921 were commemorated in the courtyard of Georgian parliament.

The event was attended by Irakli Kobakhidze, Chairman of parliament, Mamuka Bakhtadze, Prime Minister and representatives of legislative and executive authorities. They lay wreaths at the memorial of Georgian Junkers.

February 25 of 1921 is one of the tragic and painful dates in Georgia’s history. On this day Georgia again lost its newly gained independence that lasted less than three years. Soon after freeing itself from the Russian Empire’s more than century-old rule and declaring its independence in May of 1918, the Red Army invaded Georgia in February of 1921.
