I greet our Abkhaz sisters and brothers living beyond Enguri with great love and special longing. I believe that the time will come when in a united, strong Georgia, in Sokhumi and Tskhinvali, we will have the opportunity to hold similar meetings, to talk about the bright future and the possibility of development of our country, Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairman of "Georgian Dream", addressed at the regional event of the election campaign in Zugdidi.

As he noted, Samegrelo and Svaneti best express how the children of corners with different character and traditions, but with a great past, who are united around a common goal in a very small area, should live.

"A Georgian man will never get tired of talking about Samegrelo, Svaneti, the local history and customs, nature and people. Your country best expresses how children of corners with different character and traditions, but with a great past, who are united around a common goal in a very small area, should live.

Standing proudly, the Caucasus is the longest witness, how the talents and insight of the Magrelians, the justice and wisdom of the Svans harmoniously fit together and create a diverse people with common national values! Our strength lies in the fact that we unite around Georgia with our differences and take care of our homeland.

The visitors who come here are surprised by the original form of the history, art and architecture preserved from their ancestors, which creates a kind of unique museum in the open air. "Both Samegrelo and Svaneti have withstood many historical upheavals so that the people here have never lost their connection with their land, traditions and the legacy of their ancestors, which they saw intact for centuries to the future generations," said Bidzina Ivanishvili.
