This is the merit of each of you. Each time upon arrival in Adjara, the region astonishes with its beautiful nature, but most importantly, there is special warmth and hospitality shared by locals and thank you for that.

I am pleased that this tradition continues, uniting mountain and valley, clergy and nation. It unites everyone, and we celebrate it together. This is an echo of the traditions, which are best represented in this region. I wish Georgian mountainous regions and Upper Adjara development, and to each of you – prosperity,” he said.
