In his speech Member of the Parliament of Georgia Nugzar Tsiklauri in particular said: "The Georgian authorities had chosen the right position when shared in the Circassian people's tragedy. The defence of the North-Caucasian peoples' interests, the renewal interrelation with them will be one of the priority directions in the further activities of the Georgian Parliament. Our common past and kinship of the Caucasian peoples oblige the Georgian community to feel the North-Caucasian peoples' pain as the Georgian people's pain".
