The PM’s statement read that Georgia strongly condemned the terrorist attack against peaceful demonstrators, which killed more than 80 people and left hundreds more injured.

In these challenging times the Government of Georgia extends its heartfelt condolences to the Afghan government and the families of the victims,” Kvirikashvili said.
We believe that this attack and other similar actions aimed against freedom, peace and innocent people represent the greatest crime against humanity. We hope that as a result of joint efforts of the international community, elimination of violent extremism and restoration of security across the world will become possible.”
