It is with great sadness that I have learned about the death of Mdinari Bebiashvili, a Junior Sergeant of the 23rd Light Infantry Battalion of the Second Infantry Brigade of the Georgian Armed Forces serving in Afghanistan under the Resolute Support Mission. The soldier was killed in an attack during joint patrolling. I would like to extend my most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased serviceman. This pain is endured by all of Georgia and by each and every one of us – a pain that cannot be soothed.
Three more of our soldiers – Captain Mikheil Gvirjishvili, Senior Lieutenant Giga Khakhutashvili, and Corporal Gela Kharshiladze were also injured during the attack. They are currently receiving treatment. I would like to wish them a swift recovery.
