Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili attended the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Tbilisi.

 

At the reception hosted by the German Ambassador to Georgia Hubert Knirsch, President Zurabishvili said that “Germany shows us that unifying our country and ending the occupation is possible”.

 

Today, our wall is the barbed wires on the occupation line, hate speech, intolerance. Tearing these down depends on us”, Zurabishvili said.

 

Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani also wrote on his Twitter that what happened 30 years ago in Germany “is a clear proof that nothing can stop aspirations for freedom and unity”.

 

On the evening of November 9, 1989, east Germany announced an easing of travel restrictions to the west and thousands demanded passage through the Berlin Wall, which had been dividing people since 1961.
