President: These were difficult years for the formation and testing of the Georgian army

"The Georgian army celebrates its 30th anniversary today. However, we all know very well that the Georgian army is not 30 but centuries old. Our current army is a worthy successor to all the wars that Georgia had in the past," Salome Zurabishvili stated about it at the event dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Defense Forces.

According to the President of Georgia, the past 30 years were a year of formation and severe testing of the Georgian army, and today Georgia has high standard defense forces.

"Today, we have a high standard of defense forces that have been participating in international peacekeeping missions for many years and contributing to the fight for global peace and security. The professionalism and combat readiness of our military always deserves high praise. International Community, Our Partners - everybody trusts the Georgian army, that is, trusts Georgia. These 30 years were difficult years of formation and testing of the Georgian army - its struggle was for the national interests, national dignity, independence of the country, territorial integrity, and freedom. It was a struggle for our Western, our European choice, for a dignified future. Many lives were lost; we bow to the dead, we honor their memory," the President said.

The President stressed the need to care for wounded soldiers and veterans and, in her speech, also focused on the goals of the country.

"It is our duty to take care of those who sacrificed their health for the homeland. It is our duty to appreciate the merits of the veterans properly, to use their experience, and do not to deprive them of care and attention. The tasks ahead are our main and unchanging goals - de-occupation and Euro-Atlantic integration. To fulfill them, Georgia needs continuous and effective cooperation with our strategic partners, exercises, studies, personnel equipped with the latest military technical knowledge. We believe in their support, and we are grateful for it," Zurabishvili said.

An event dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Defense Forces took place at the Vaziani military base.
