The new recruits took the military oath. The recruits swore the oath in Tbilisi, at Freedom Square, and in five historic locations across the country.

“I, a citizen of Georgia, as I enter military service:

I swear to faithfully fulfill my soldierly duty to Georgia;

I swear to conscientiously study military affairs, and to honorably continue the martial traditions of my ancestors;

I swear to firmly uphold military discipline, as the very foundation of the strength of the state;

I swear to keep entrusted military secrets, to comply with all the requirements of the military regulations and the orders of my commander;

I swear to stand firmly on guard for Georgia and to fight for victory over the enemy until my last breath.

If I break this oath, I will be held accountable before God and my country. May God protect us,” – the recruits declared.

At Freedom Square, a ceremonial event is taking place, dedicated to Georgia’s Independence Day.
