Thousands of Georgians gathered in the country’s capital Tbilisi on Friday to celebrate in and around Freedom Square, Ednews reports citing Euro News.
“The EU and integration with Europe is important for us. Not only will it be a security guarantee for us and enable the country to get stronger economically, but it is important for other values too including sports and culture, among others," said Erekle Sarishvili, a student who took part in the rally.
"We, the young generation, have fought for this result but we also need to remember the older generations that have brought Georgia here.”
Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili congratulated the nation, saying that “this historic victory belongs to you, to our undefeated, unbroken, freedom loving Georgian people.”
