Quicker than many think, Georgia will be free, and we will meet on Rustaveli with Nana, Eka, Givi, we will eat Adjarian khachapuri and drink Saperavi from Kakheti - Goncharenko

Quicker than many think, Georgia will be free, and we will meet on Rustaveli with Nana, Eka, Givi, we will eat Adjarian khachapuri and drink Saperavi from Kakheti, said Oleksiy Goncharenko, Ukrainian MP, member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, at a session of PACE.

"We are here to support Georgian people, to support democracy in Georgia. They have a right to be free. They have a right to be a democratic, European state.

But I want to say to Georgian people, it is the darkest moment just before sunrise. And I know for sure that the day will come, and quicker than many think. You know, my mother told me one day that she knew always that the USSR would collapse, but she never thought that she would see it with her own eyes. Like these Georgians in 1989, they would not believe that in two years and a half, the Soviet Union would disappear.

The same will be now - quicker than many think. Georgia will be free. And we will meet on Rustaveli with Nana, with Eka, with Givi, and Giorgi, with Ia. We will eat Khevsuretian Khinkali and Adjarian khachapuri. We will eat mchadi. We will drink Saperavi from Kakheti, qvevri wine from Racha. We will celebrate that Tbilisi is one of the capitals of the EU", - said Oleksiy Goncharenko.
