"We have already produced armored vehicle Didgori; we have been producing automatic rifles and other equipment. We have started from the grassroots; we have set up their production in the relatively short time in order to help our Armed Forces with local resources. Of course, we also continue working with our partners in order to once and forever terminate our enemies' attempts to isolate Georgia, including in  that sphere," Saakashvili stated.
