Ambassador Kelly Degnan and the U.S. military paid tribute to the memory of those who perished during the war in Abkhazia. The United States maintains its steadfast support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
U.S. Embassy in Georgia published a statement on its official Facebook page:
"29 years after the fall of Sukhumi, the pain that followed the Russian-backed massacre is palpable. This is the pain that was left in the hearts of the loved ones of tens of thousands of victims, and the pain that hundreds of thousands of displaced people live with every day. We always see in their eyes that their home is so close and yet so far.
On September 27, 1993, Sukhumi fell.
Glory to the heroes!", - the statemnet reads.
