The Rector of Tbilisi State University, Academician Jaba Samushia welcomed the participants of the 10th International Scientific Conference entitled “Prospects for the Development of Georgian-Ossetian Relations,” and discussed the significance of the conference in the context of a unified Caucasus. “It is incumbent upon us to surmount the extant challenges through the coexistence of Caucasian peoples. Through the scientific study of their history and culture, TSU has consistently contributed to the preservation and advancement of the identity of these peoples. The foundation for this work was established by Ivane Javakhishvili, and it continues to this day. Consequently, our university has become a hub of scientific discourse in the Caucasus,” stated Jaba Samushia.
