The congratulation states, in particular:
“Dear women!
Please accept my most sincere and cordial wishes on this wonderful spring holiday – the International Women’s Day, 8th of March!
From time immemorial, you protect the family hearth, bring up children, and achieve successes in work, while always remaining young and beautiful. In different historical periods, the women of Abkhazia were a true moral pillar of our society. You have demonstrated true endurance and will during the Patriotic War of the People of Abkhazia of 1992-1993. This year, we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Victory and Independence Day of the Republic of Abkhazia. Thanks to the mothers of Abkhazia who brought up worthy and brave sons, we celebrate this great day with an unshakeable faith in the future of our country. I would like to express deep gratitude to our mothers and sisters for their bravery, wisdom and patience, which were demonstrated during the war and in the postwar years. I bow to the mothers who brought up brave fighters and true patriots of their Homeland.
Our dear mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters! Your support and your presence inspire us to create. May all your hopes and dreams come true, and may every day of your life be illumined by a happy smile.
I sincerely wish you strong health, youth, beauty, and peace in your homes, and joy and warmth for many years”.
