Dear compatriots!

A new year 2021 will begin in few minutes. The third decade of the 21st century begins. The New Year is a special holiday for each of us because it is always associated with the hope for better changes and the belief that the coming year will bring good luck, fulfillment of our most cherished desires.

The outgoing year was very difficult for Abkhazia and for the whole world. The sudden outbreak of the disease changed our usual way of life, limited contacts and communication, had a huge negative impact on the socio-economic situation of the country, every citizen.

The country's leadership had to focus on combating the epidemic and its consequence in these conditions. Despite the difficulties, we manage to keep the situation under control. Our Russian colleagues and the diaspora are helping us and we are all very grateful for this.

Dear compatriots!

We celebrate this holiday in conditions of forced restrictions. I would ask you not to forget about the existing danger even these days, to observe precautions, to take care of your family and people around you.

The main characters of the outgoing year are undoubtedly our brave medical workers. Taking this opportunity, I would like to once again express my deep gratitude to them for their titanic work. I wish a speedy recovery to our citizens, who are forced to celebrate the New Year holidays in the hospital ward.

Many compatriots celebrate the New Year in service, ensuring security of the country, the work of the life support industries.

My kindest wishes for the coming year to all who perform their labor duty on this festive night .

Dear compatriots, citizens of multinational Abkhazia!

I congratulate you on the upcoming 2021 year! With all my heart I wish you all good health. May the coming year become successful and happy for each of you, and let our native Abkhazia be in peace and prosperity!
