I believe that it is necessary to involve our young people from the school stage, and not only that, we should also include relevant education in kindergartens. We should provide more information to raise awareness among young people. This will help increase interest in the army. They will personally meet our heroic soldiers, who will tell them about the heroic deeds of our army, not only the heroic deeds committed in the past but also the present. Apart from this, I believe this camp will help promote the right values among the youth. In today's world, Georgia is a part of globalization, and there are many temptations for our young people. Therefore, young people need to determine the right orientation from the beginning. In this process, our state's role is very important," Gharibashvili stated.

We have introduced military education 'Defense and Security' in schools, which I believe is a correct decision. I know from many students that interest is growing. We have to step by step introduce this element in all schools; it is necessary to introduce this element in kindergartens as well", said the Prime Minister."

We must show the difference to our young people.
