Our guiding light remains the three divine treasures entrusted to us: our homeland, our language, and our faith. Such a statement the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament made during his speech on Independence Day.
“The world today is turbulent and uncertain. Values are collapsing before our eyes; friends and foes are often indistinguishable. In such times, what anchors us? It is the knowledge passed down by our ancestors, the love and experience we share, our collective memory, and the millennia we have endured as a people.
Our guiding light remains the three divine treasures entrusted to us: our homeland, our language, and our faith. Georgia has never existed without these three, and it never will. They are our living heritage - ancient yet ever-relevant. Losing even one means losing ourselves as a nation and a state. For us, homeland is not mere geography - it is home.
A home we have inhabited since the dawn of history. Its protection is the sacred duty of every generation. That is why our national mission is to rebuild and reunite - together with our Abkhazian and Ossetian brothers and sisters - to fortify our common home: Georgia.
Our language gives us the foundation of a national state—the ability to understand, love, and support one another. It holds our memory and our cultural and spiritual code and distinguishes us as a unique nation.
And above all, we are a people loyal to our faith. Our strength as a nation flows from the faith and loyalty of each individual, regardless of religion or ethnicity. Those who mock faith, abandon values, and glorify the foreign at the expense of the native can never become true builders of the homeland. False oaths, intentions, and teachings only sow division and hatred”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
