Sons of first Georgian president demand truth in relation to father's death
TBILISI. March 31 (Interfax) - Sons of first Georgian President Zviad Gamsakhurdia, who died in 1993 - Konstantin, Giorgi and Tsotne - said they would ask the Georgian authorities on March 31, their father's birthday, to determine the objective reasons behind his death.
"The case of our father's tragic death has been on the shelves of the prosecutor's office for 20 years already. Since 2004 no investigative proceedings have been held despite the fact that the interim parliamentary committee virtually ruled out suicide in its conclusion and demanded that the investigative bodies probe the case further," the statement, posted on the Facebook account of Tsotne Gamsakhurdia on March 30, said.
The former president's sons have decided at their father's grave in the pantheon of writers and public figures of Georgia at Mtatsminda mountain on March 31 to ask the current authorities "to hold relevant proceedings so that the objective case of Gamsakhurdia's death is finally determined."
