President: I am not celebrating my birthday today; we should postpone birthdays, weddings, parties for a while

The President of Georgia thanks the public for the birthday greetings in the video spread on Facebook and notes that due to the current situation with the coronavirus, she did not traditionally celebrate her birthday with family and friends.

“First of all, I want to thank you all for remembering me today, remembering my birthday. Thank you for rememberring other people in this situation, which is our strength. In general, I always spend my birthday with my daughter. Unfortunately, this year she is in America, she cannot come. My son is in Paris, he cannot come either. So we could not celebrate this birthday together.

This is a tough time for all of us. This is a challenge that we should overcome together, but remotely today.

I want to give you an example with this video. I am not celebrating my birthday today. I do not have friends here. We should all understand that it is not time for this now. We should postpone birthdays, weddings, parties for a while. This is our obligation”, the Presidnet said.
