Thank you. I know that I have 10 minutes. So, I will try to present the overview of Satenik’s paper briefly. First of all, I would like to thank Satenik for brilliant work because I think that this is the first attempt to have a comparative analysis of Georgia’s two National Security Concepts. In the first part of my speech I will briefly deal with the importance of the National Security concept as a document. Then I will demonstrate what are the similarities and differences between these two documents and as a final part of my speech, I will provide some personal observations.
