The Georgian people have always understood that peace is the main condition for survival and development, said the newly elected President of Georgia Mikhail Kavelashvili today during his inauguration in parliament, Day.Az reports.
“Achieving prosperity, continuous development and ensuring a safe and bright future, the pursuit of happiness is only possible if we carefully approach existing challenges, analyze the threats we face and make decisions based not on emotions, but on a deep understanding of the situation .
Analysis of past mistakes should form the basis for all future decisions. We must act based solely on our national interests. In recent years, against the backdrop of events taking place in the region and the world, our country has faced a number of challenges, some of which carried serious threats with devastating consequences. However, we overcame these difficulties, remaining united as a people and a state.
The decisive factor was the freedom-loving spirit of the Georgian people, which does not tolerate oppression, injustice, disrespect and arrogance. This spirit requires respect for our traditions, values, national identity, family, faith and equal treatment of our homeland. It is thanks to this strong and unyielding character that the Georgian people and state were able to maintain peace in conditions of inequality, resist injustice and lies, continue economic progress, strengthen the country and move towards joining the European family,” the President of Georgia noted.
