According to the government officials, the case of Zviad Gamsakhurdia"s death must be investigated. According to the Prime Minister, Mamuka Bakhtadze, the fact that the case is still not investigated is a shame.
"His contribution to the history of Georgia is exceptional. Restoration of independence and statehood is associated with the name of Zviad Gamsakhurdia. My friends and I pay respect to his memory.

"He was the initiator of the referendum, which still has a very good legal basis for our independence and territorial integrity. He was the greatest state worker and our duty is to pay the tribute to his memory. It is unfortunate that the investigation of the case could not be completed by the end of the year. We have repeatedly made a statement about the fact that the case is to be urgently investigated. We have taken legal measures and made changes to the law, "said Irakli Kobakhidze.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze says that several governments have changed, but Gamsakhurdia"s case is still not investigated and therefore it should be brought to the end.
