Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 8 Apr.'09 / 14:33

Ilia II, the Patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church, called on the opposition, the government and the Georgian army not to resort to force.

“I address entire Georgia, I address our authorities, opposition, I address the Georgian army not to use force in any case. A person, a soldier, who raises his hand against his brother, can no longer properly defend his motherland,” Ilia II said in the Holy Trinity Cathedral on April 8.
