President addresses Georgian peacekeepers – You defend our peace

August 31 is Georgian Peacekeepers Day in Georgia. President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili congratulated Georgian military servicemen on the day and underlined that it was a great honor for her to address the soldiers, who were defending peace in different places of the world and were strengthening Georgia’s security.

According to President, Georgia’s partners were expressing respect and trust to Georgian peacekeepers and hailed their professionalism. “Global threats are increasing everywhere and peace, stability and security cannot be protected only within the boundaries of the country. You stand on the watchdog of peace abroad,” Zurabishvili said.

Mindia Takidze, the senior noncommissioned officer with the 4th Mechanized Brigade, said that the President’s address was giving motivation to the peacekeepers to serve their international mission honestly and with dignity. Takidze also wished peacekeepers safe and healthy return to Georgia.
