Georgian Patriarch Ilia II extended his condolences to the family and friends of the late TV Pirveli cameraman Lekso Lashkarava.

“Of course, the death of a child is a great tragedy and pain for you, but you must strengthen your faith in eternal life, of which Lekso has already become an inhabitant.

Do not doubt, he is alive and it is possible to establish a connection with him through prayer.

We also pray for him, for his immortal soul, especially since I know he wanted to meet us.

God bless Lekso’s wife and children.

Sincerely, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia”, - reads the letter.
