The President of Georgia attended day of absolution at the Cathedral of Holy Trinity. Mikheil Saakashvili asked his supporters and the representatives of the opposition for mercy. "I want to ask the government as well as the opposition, I want to ask those people who support us, I want to ask those people who do not agree with us and argue with us, as the main duty of a Christian is to be able to absolve and permanently be seeking absolution. Only this way it is possible to get really united."
In his speech the President of Georgia paid special attention to the unity of the country. The President once again touched upon the necessity of the unity.
