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”.
