The President of Georgia reacts to the fire that broke out in the gallery of Sukhumi in the occupied Abkhazia on the social network.

“The fire that destroyed the Sukhumi National Gallery in occupied Abkhazia is a tragedy for all of us. I am sorry for what is a direct result of the neglect of cultural identity by both the de facto leadership and the Russian occupiers. I call on the international community to restore attention to the protection of our cultural heritage in the occupied territories”, - writes Salome Zourabichvili on X.
