Georgian prime minister Irakli Garibashvili on Sunday said the current Georgian Dream authorities had ensured an “unprecedented period of continuous peaceful and stable development in our country”, as the party marked 10 years in office on Saturday.
In his address to the audience at the award ceremony of honorary citizens of capital Tbilisi, the head of the government stressed “what we need today is peace, stability and development. People need more prosperity and the government will do its best for this”.
He also reiterated “only peaceful and stable development” of Georgia could lead to the “major goal” of the reintegration of the country's currently occupied territories.
A part of our territories is occupied now, but I believe Georgia will be united [again]”, he told citizens at the event.
The Georgian Dream coalition, founded by businessman and philanthropist Bidzina Ivanishvili, defeated the United National Movement government in October 2012 parliamentary elections, putting an end to the nine-year rule of the party.
Georgian Dream has won all parliamentary and municipal elections in the country since then.
Georgian prime minister Irakli Garibashvili on Tuesday reiterated the importance of peaceful reintegration of the Russian-occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions of Georgia in comments marking the 29th anniversary of the fall of Sokhumi, the regional capital of the former, in the 1992-1993 conflict in the north-western region.
Georgia’s policy focused on “peace, mutual respect and dialogue” will bring the country “closer to the day” when we continue to build a “united, strong, peaceful, democratic state” along with “Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers”, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said on Sunday in connection with the 30th anniversary of the Abkhazia War, which ended with the territory becoming a breakaway region of Georgia and leaving hundreds of thousands displaced.
Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili on Monday voiced messages of “unity” to mark Abkhazia Day with Georgian citizens, and in particular with “Abkhaz brothers and sisters” in the occupied north-western region.
Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili on Friday said his Government "guaranteed" the public a "lasting peace and no war" in the country, in comments that made references to "irresponsible rhetoric" of "internal enemies".
Cooperation prospects and the growing dynamics of tourism recovery in Georgia were discussed on Monday in a meeting between Georgian prime minister Irakli Garibashvili and Serkan Kaptan, the president of TAV Airports, the company managing two of the largest airports in the country.
It is important to maintain a peaceful environment in Georgia, be calm and firm, and continue the development of the country. Against the background of a “very difficult” situation in European countries, Georgia has a record double-digit economic growth throughout Europe and Central Asia, Irakli Garibashvili, the Georgian prime minister said on Sunday.
