President of Georgia Giorgi Margvelashvili attended the liturgy of at Sameba (Holy Trinity) Cathedral and congratulated the Orthodox parish on Christmas.

President talked about the Christmas Epistle of Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia.

“The Patriarch’s Epistle is always very important to us, because despite the fact that we live in political life, our holy fathers and mothers living share their vision and pain.

All the topics mentioned in the Epistle of the Patriarch are highly relevant”, – said the President.

“Politicians should translate the Epistle as follows: we should strengthen schools, universities, kindergarten and social services that will strengthen the family.

The issue of drug policy was also very important to me. I have repeatedly emphasized that punishment and compulsion have not given us good results for decades and on the contrary, it has ruined lives of many people. So, maybe it is better to develop a different approach and make the drug policy more humane” – President said.
