“On 9 April 1989, while peacefully rallying for Georgian independence, 21 persons were killed and hundreds injured by Soviet troops. In remembrance of the victims, we honour their sacrifice,” Norwegian Ambassador to Georgia, Helene Sand Andresen wrote on Twitter in connection with the 33rd anniversary of April 9 Tragedy.

Today, 33 years passed from the April 9 Tragedy in Tbilisi when the Soviet Army dispersed a peaceful, anti-Soviet demonstration in the center of Tbilisi. The violence dispersal resulted in 21 civilian deaths and hundreds of injuries. April 9 is now remembered as the Day of National Unity.
