You exemplify the unbreakable Georgian spirit, these mountains testify to your strong roots, and we join you in continuing these beautiful traditions. The Georgian mountains are especially important to us. We have launched numerous activities to ensure equal development in every region of Georgia. We are implementing many projects in Zemo Adjara, such as building schools, kindergartens, and roads, developing athletic infrastructure, and installing gas supply systems.
