32 years ago, on March 31, 1991, the Scientific Advisory Council discussed the importance of the historical referendum. This day is an example of exemplary civil unanimity in the recent history of Georgia, because Abkhaz and Ossetian citizens participated in the referendum held throughout Georgia, including those who supported the idea of Georgia's independence.
