Today an Armenian-Georgian philology conference was held in the Yerevan
State University Philology faculty. The ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary of Georgia in Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze, Georgian
Academic Zaza Aleksidze, YSE Georgian Center head Hrachya Bayramyan,
historian Paruyr Muradyan, and the dean of the philology faculty
Artsrun Avagyan.
The conference was headed by Zaza Aleksidze and Paruyr Muradyan. The
opening speech of the conference was done by deputy rector Aleksandr
Grigoryan: "It is difficult to imagine Armenians studies without
Georgian and that is the reason why the rector has created the center
of Georgian studies in the university two years ago," he said. He
also mentioned that in the recent years the relationship between the
tow nations was not so smooth and the solution to that could be the
discussions by the round table.
"It is the first time the rectors of YSU and Tbilisi state university
came to one agreement on carrying out seminars, conferences and
meeting-discussions on Armenian-Georgian studies," said Paruyr
Muradyan.
Several speeches were made in the conference particularly in these
aspects: "Georgian Armenians cultural, political and diplomatic
relations in the new age", "Armenians studies in Georgia. Yesterday,
today, tomorrow", "From Armenian Georgian History".
