Patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church, Ilia II, announced that Georgia’s previous and the new governments should work together for the benefit of the country and there should be “no revenge” and “no enmity”.
“I am sure that in Georgia, where this change of government took place, the previous and the new authorities will support each other and there will be no revenge, there will be no enmity and instead we will be brothers… God bless the previous and the new governments,” said Patriarch Ilia II in his Sunday sermon in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Tbilisi.
Note, in a message on October 27, congratulating Bidzina Ivanishvili on taking Prime Minister’s office, the Georgian Church leader wished Ivanishvili to create such an environment in the country where “the god, homeland and a human being will be the major values.”
