Eduard Shevardnadze – in memory

Eduard Shevardnadze died yesterday, July 7, knowing that Georgia had signed the EU Association Agreement. He was a great old man!

A joke he used to tell:

In Europe, nothing moves without Georgians. Europe was divided by a Georgian, Josef Stalin, and it was united again by a Georgian…Eduard Shevardnadze!

…who at that time was FM of the Soviet Union.
