The President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili laid a wrath on Cadets' Memorial in Kojori and revered the memory of Georgian heroes fighting for independence. As the President pointed out on the very spot where there is a memorial now armed Georgian youngsters sacrificed their lives for their motherland. If not Philipe Makharadze and Sergo Orjonikidze Georgia would have been such a developed and successful country as Finland and Netherlands.

"Georgia will never kneel down. I pity those people who used to say that this government deprived them of dignity. It is disgracefulness when you fall on your knees before your enemy. Abkhazia is occupied, 500 000 people are displaced, cooperation with the occupants was infamy in France and in Europe generally. Those people who cooperate with occupants cannot have dignity. Collaborationists cannot cast a shadow on free Georgia. Those who think that Georgia once again learn how to stand on the knees are seriously mistaken. Georgia will be free. We have suffered a lot and we will be able to stand it now. Georgia stood longer than those occupants that used to occupy our country", Mikheil Saakashvili stated.
