Mikheil Chkhenkeli: "July 4 is the Independence Day of the United States of America. I heartily congratulate the American people, the American government, and the US ambassador to Georgia on this remarkable date!

The 4^th of July is a symbol of freedom and democratic values, not only for the American people, but for the entire world.

The long-term cooperation between America and Georgia is especially valuable to me personally, as a dual citizen of Georgia and America.

I would like to thank the government of the United States of America - our strategic partner for exemplary cooperation and special contribution to the development of the education system of Georgia. Your support and assistance is truly invaluable to us.

I am glad that the two countries, the American and Georgian people, share common values."

Happy Independence Day once again, wish you peace and prosperity!"
