The Prime Minister of Georgia delivered a speech on the event, dedicated to the country’s Independence Day

As Irakli Kobakhidze said, the recent history of Georgia and the current processes in the modern world had shown with “particular clarity” that sovereignty was the most “efficient” guarantee of the country’s security.

“The recent history of Georgia and the current processes in the modern world have shown us with particular clarity that sovereignty is the most efficient guarantee of the country’s security. That is why, today, more than ever, we must take care of the state independence of Georgia.

That is why, today, more than ever, we must take care of the three pillars of the national identity of Georgia - homeland, language and faith.

That is why, today, more than ever, we must take care of each other and defeat hatred, because what was destroyed by enmity can only be rebuilt with love”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
