Today, Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze honored the memory of the cadets fallen in the fight against soviet occupation.
The Head of Government, together with the Speaker of the Parliament, laid a wreath at the memorial of the patriots fallen in the February 17-24 fight for Georgia's freedom near Ialghuji, Kojori, and Tabakhmela.
"Today, we honor the memory of the cadets, our youth, who laid their lives to stand up to soviet occupation. I bow before all Georgian heroes who have sacrificed their lives for our country's freedom and independence.
