Samtskhe-Javakheti. The tragedy that took place in Georgia four years ago was remembered on August 8 in the Akhaltsikhe Youth Center. The event - "About the tragic days of August 2008"- was held as part of the Civic Education and the Teachers' Training Program.

20 students from the public schools of Samtskhe-Javakheti involved in the program and their parents, representative of the Akhaltsikhe Municipality Gamgeoba and the local media have participated in the event.

The event started with a minute of silence, by which the participants have paid their tribute to the soldiers and civilian population killed during the August War.

Members of the Civic Club have presented their paintings, sketches and poems dedicated to this day. Demonstration/discussion of a mini video has followed.

Importantly, this event will become a tradition, thus once again reminding the future generation of the August 8 tragedy.
