Prime Minister: There are forces that are trying to divide our society artificially - I promise you that we will do everything to protect our values and the national interests of our country

There are forces that are trying to divide our society artificially, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told citizens gathered at the Trinity Cathedral in connection with the Family Sanctity Day.

According to Irakli Kobakhidze, protection of the country's identity is the responsibility of each of us, although "there are forces that artificially try to replace love with hate".

"Congratulations on today. I welcome every child of our dear country, Georgia, our brothers and sisters. Today is the most important day. This is the day of sanctity of the family, protection of our values. This is the day of protection of our country's identity, land, language and faith. This is the day of protection of the Orthodox Church, and I want to congratulate you all on this day, which is very exciting for each of us, which has united our country.

Of course, protecting the identity of our country is the responsibility of each of us. There are forces trying to artificially divide our society. We are a Christian country and the main value of Christianity is love between people. There are forces that are artificially trying to replace love with hate among us. We must do our best to unite our country, each of our citizens around love. Unity around love is something each of us should strive for. God bless our country with love. With love we can also unite with our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters. Long live our united Georgia, which is united by love between people. As a representative of the government, I can promise you that we will do everything to protect our values and the national interests of our country," said Kobakhidze.
