  • Title: USSR: Georgian Parliamentarians Vote Unanimously In Favour Of Independence Decree
  • Date: 9th April 1991
  • Summary: The Georgian Parliament formally declared on April 9 its intention to break away from the Soviet Union when deputies voted unanimously in favour of an independence decree. But Georgia's President Zviad Gamsakhurdia acknowledged that the republic must work for independence by steps. We understand acceptance of this act of independence is not a de facto withdrawal from the Soviet Union, he told Parliament.WARNING:LOCAL MUSIC LICENCES MAY APPLY.Copyright laws covering the composition, arrangement and/or performance of music differ from country to country, and even from state to state within some countries. These range from limiting the law to specific circumstances - e.g. 'performances given by professionals to a paying audience' - to total coverage that encompasses everything from a professional performance to the most amateur rendition - e.g. 'spectators at sports events'. If in doubt we recommend that either the section containing 'Music' is deleted or that the sound level is turned down and covered with commentary.
