Europe is peace - this is a real peaceful future, no matter what some people say about “fronts”, which is completely incomprehensible, said the President of Georgia at the event on the occasion of Europe Day.

“This road, which goes until the end of this year and then it will not end like this, there will be other stages, but we must go through this road. We must force everyone in every possible way so that we do not miss this chance. All of you standing here, so many of you have family in Europe, have been to Europe, studied in Europe or hope to study or work in Europe, but my hope is a little different, my hope is that we bring Europe here, we get everything here.

That’s why we go to Europe sometimes. Here should be the standards of life and work, here should be the prosperity that we seek elsewhere. We have a lot in common with Europe, but our country is no less, and we should bring Europeans here. We have an expression of the Black Sea, of which we are a part, and which today and tomorrow will unite Georgia and Europe. The Black Sea, which separated us during the whole Soviet period, was a wall, today it is already a bridge, which can bring a lot not only to Georgia, but also to Europe, and it is well understood that our strategic place, our future role, if we can be where it is needed, will be very important for Europe itself, and Europe is peace”, - said Salome Zourabichvili.
