ArmInfo. A new subject, Armenian Culture, will be taught at Georgian
schools, President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili said in an interview
with the Armenian Public Television.
Armenian and Georgian cultures are very similar and interconnected. The
Center of Tbilisi is a bright example of the aforementioned. It is
the Armenian cultural and architectural heritage, Saakashvili said. He
highlighted that Georgia belongs to all the nations residing in that
country: Armenians, Ossetians, Azerbaijanis and it is the official
stand of the Georgian President. There is a large-scale Armenian
community in Georgia, there are Armenian schools and everything will
be done to increase the level of education, the president said. He
outlined that the Armenian theatre should become even better and the
Georgian authorities welcome the activity of the Armenian Church for
this purpose. He is sure that Armenia and Georgia need exchange of
experience through everyday work at various festivals, dance groups,
concerts and joint film making, he said.
The minister charged the Georgian Culture Ministry to launch film
making jointly with Armenia as before. Development of Armenian
culture will undoubtedly lead to development of Georgian culture,
M. Saakashvili said.
Asked if it is possible to make a new film like ‘Mimino’, Mikheil
Sakashvili said that he would like it very much but much still to be
done for this. The president such goals should be achieved first of
all through involvement of the youth.
