Dear friends, it was a great honor to be your Minister, to work with you, and to serve our people and country by your side-one of the most valuable and memorable periods in my political career, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in his speech at the event marking Police Day.

“I thank you for your service, selflessness, professionalism, and dedication. I thank you for your heroism. I thank your parents, spouses, and children. Dear friends, it was a great honor to be your Minister, to work with you, and to serve our people and country by your side-one of the most valuable and memorable periods in my political career.

You are our country’s protectors ensuring our citizens’ safety and peace and quiet, rule of law, and public order”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
