There were no solid social guarantees for veterans during the previous government, as soon as we came to power, we started active work in this direction. The Prime Minister of Georgia said this during his speech at the Veteran’s Day event.

“I would like to congratulate our dear veterans, worthy fighters of the defense forces, police, special services, people devoted to the motherland on Veterans Day. Veteran is one of the most honorable statuses in any society for which freedom is the most important value.

The strength of the state is determined by its attitude towards the defenders of the homeland. Therefore, taking care of your well-being, proper appreciation of your merits and heroism has been our top priority since coming to power.

The fact that this year we celebrate this day for the 10th time is proof of that. Under the previous government, there were no solid social guarantees, not even a minimum package of universal insurance for veterans. As soon as we came to power, we started active work in this direction.

We laid the foundation for the creation of the Department of Veterans Affairs and made care for veterans a priority. During these years, we have taken many steps to properly appreciate your merits”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
