"All celebration activities should be carried out properly. We need to reach all relatives of those who either died or survived the war. We also ought not to forget the volunteers who helped the Abkhazians at war time."
Bagapsh also called on the officials to have tidier and cleaner streets, beach, the Park of Honor, the graves where the warriors are buried until September, when the celebration will be held.
