Head of Georgian Church Calls for Restraint

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.
