The Prime Minister of Georgia discussed at today’s Government meeting a large-scale project designed to construct 43 buildings and award apartments to 1,200 service members.

“This is an expression of our enormous respect for service members. Initiatives of this kind will improve the social conditions of service members and their families, also encouraging engagement in military service and empowering the Georgian Army”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.

He thanked the Defense Minister for promptly responding in order to launch a new stage in the housing project for service members and presenting the relevant plan.

“Based on the principle of participation, service members will only pay 100 USD per m2. And, to cover this amount, zero-interest in-house financing will be put in place. Apartments will be allocated based on the family size. Service members will receive 50-, 80-, and 110-m2 apartments. This project will continue, an intention underpinned by our new Defense Code. Needless to say, such initiatives will improve the social conditions of service members and their families, also raising motivation among service members, and encouraging engagement in military service. And, ultimately, all this will empower the Georgian Army, one of our key priorities”, - added the Head of Government.
