Today marks the birthday anniversary of Georgian national hero Giorgi Mazniashvili, a great military commander and selfless fighter for his homeland's unity.
Giorgi Mazniashvili holds a special place in the long and glorious military history of Georgia. One of the architects of the modern Georgian army, and a military commander famed for his strategic talent, he was also a role model of courage and steadfastness for his fellow fighters.
"I am neither a Bolshevik nor Menshevik general-I am a Georgian general," Mazniashvili's words best illustrate the life of a man who has joined the ranks of Georgia's honorable sons and daughters.
The selfless service of this undefeated general to his homeland and people will forever remain a guiding light for each and every one of us, for future generations.
