"25 years is a small and at the same time, a large portion of a state history. It is a short period of time for a country that had been deprived of its statehood to stand back on its own feet. Nonetheless, this period turned out to be a long haul involving many events - blood shredded by out compatriots, occupied territories - this became the price Georgia had to pay for its statehood. I would like to commemorate the heroes fallen for Georgia," - Prime Minister stated.

Pursuant to the Prime Minister, Georgia moves forward in giant steps, successfully passing the route of European and Euro-Atlantic integration and contributes to the global security.
"Notwithstanding its moderate size, Georgia has every characteristic to enter the European family and become its full-fledged member with own traditions and culture. I believe in the future of Georgia! I believe that Georgia will be united and we will live in unified, strong and democratic country with our Abkhazian and Ossetian brothers and sisters," - Prime Minister noted in this speech.

Representatives of executive and legislative branches of government as well as diplomats and various civil sectors attended the celebratory reception.
