Europe Day Statement by President Salome Zourabichvili
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has issued a statement for Europe Day:
All over Europe, Europe Day is celebrated as the day of unity of European people and European countries. It is based on the values that make up European culture and history.
The history of Europe has shown us that every great challenge, war or calamity is followed by new opportunities, new strength, new energy. We too share the hope of this peaceful future today and on every 9th of May.
Europe has demonstrated that it sees Georgia as an important ally and that Georgia’s stability, democracy and progress are not just empty words but a real goal and objective. Efforts made by the highest level of European leadership to help Georgia to overcome its political crisis suffice to demonstrate this support. Europe stood next to us.
Our road to Europe is neither easy to walk nor uniform. However, we, in other words, the majority of the Georgian population, have come to understand that this is the real way for the country’s advancement.
I congratulate all our European partners, our European friends, our citizens living in Europe. Today we share this celebration!
A very happy Europe Day to all!
