People around the world are uniting to support Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Dozens of people from more than 25 countries have pledged their allegiance to an international Facebook campaign by local non-governmental organisation Georgian Project, which aimed to increase international awareness of Georgia’s ongoing struggle against Russian oppression.

The Georgian Project campaign shows people from all parts of the world holding banners that say Georgia’s occupied regions Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) are part of Georgia.

"We wanted to once again remind everyone that we are not alone; the whole world supports us and that we shouldn’t lose hope that one day our dream will come true and we will get our lost territories back,” said a representative from Georgian Project.

Since the campaign launched earlier today, 35 representatives of more than 25 countries have taken part in the online project.

Organisers said some people in Russia had also taken part in the campaign, which showed that there were people in Russia who did not support the Kremlin’s occupation policy of Georgia’s two breakaway regions.
