The aim of this group was to submit own considerations and projects on elaboration of the new Constitution to the State Constitutional Commission. (The high officials of all Ministries and instances were involved in the above-mentioned group on the social basis). Thus, on August 19, 1994, the personal composition of the Commission on Martial Flag and Honor Awards of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Georgia was established and their action plan was ratified.
