Thirty years have passed since the fight for freedom started in 1989. we are still moving in closed circle because the independence declared in 1991 was just the introduction to freedom. Country has lost 20 percent of the territory. More and more cities and villages are seperated from the amputated part of our state. Internal occupation of our country may be called religious; ethnical, moral, sexual and urban controversies which diverge citizens from each other. With the indifference of the heads of country depending on the undefined forces with the absence of education and poverty we continually loose each other, our future and territories and still there is a big fear that we can loose our independence. The ideological machine has made georgians into endless feast that ha been used as tradition in order to hide the problem and justify the violence. The commercialization of the tradition ignores its significance and slows down the movement toward future.
