The First Democratic Republic of Georgia lasted only three years, after being invaded in 1921 by the Russian Red Army.
Georgia regained its independence in 1991.
“Georgians, we [the Polish people] are waiting for you in a united Europe, because you have been a part of its heritage for centuries. We are waiting for you in NATO, because you [Georgians] are a proud nation that deserves freedom, security and prosperity”, said Polish President Andrzej Duda during Independence Day official ceremony.
Andrzej Duda, the President of Poland, paid a visit to the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM) deployed in the central Georgian village of Odzisi, near the administrative boundary line separating the Russian-occupied Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) region from the rest of the country, on Georgia's Independence Day on Thursday.
Presidents, ministers of foreign affairs, ambassadors and international society have been congratulating Georgia on its Independence Day today. The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Elizabeth II has congratulated Georgia on its 30th anniversary of Independence from the Soviet Union and sent 'best wishes to the people of Georgia'.
Dozens of countries around the world have illuminated their iconic buildings in red and white – the colours of Georgia’s national flag to mark the 30th anniversary of Georgia’s independence from the Soviet Union. To celebrate the Independence Day of Georgia, the Olympic stadium in Wroclaw was lit in red and white. The Georgian national anthem was also performed during the event.
