Mourning is not enough, we cannot live in sorrow, we must live in the future - Salome Zurabishvili

Today is the most tragic day in our recent history and in the history of independent Georgia. Mourning is not enough, mourning is necessary to know what our past is, but we cannot live in sorrow, we must live in the future, and I am sure that this future will bring us much and it will bring us very quickly.

We must categorically condemn the referendums that are taking place in eastern Ukraine today because we know what it means.

- says Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili on the day of the fall of Sokhumi.
