30 March, 2017
Rector of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Giorgi
Sharvashidze, successful students from the Department of Classical
Philology and Modern Greek Studies of the TSU Faculty of Humanities, and
scientists joined the first group of passengers, among them PM Giorgi
Kvirikashvili, cabinet ministers, MPs and journalists, who visited
Athens on March 28 and later Brussels to celebrate the launch of the
visa-free travel to the European Union.
“For Georgia, the gate to Europe’s Schengen zone is Athens. As I made the first visa free symbolic entry in Athens, I also made a step towards Georgia’s return to Europe – political, economic, social, cultural and spiritual,” PM Kvirikashvili said in his opening remarks at the conference Georgia from Europe to Europe held at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
TSU Rector Giorgi Sharvashidze also addressed the participants of the conference. PM Kvirikashvili, along with students and scientists, visited the Acropolis of Athens, one of the most significant monuments of ancient architecture, and the Parthenon temple. In Brussels, the Georgian delegation visited the historical part of the city.
