I can only welcome such events. As for these very beautiful young people, we pin our hopes on them. They should study hard in order to help our country move forward,” Stephane said before the concert. BACHO, B2B, KVACHI and A2K also performed at the concert.
Rector of TSU, George Sharvashidze congratulated students on the beginning of the new academic year. “We had the highest enrollment this year. We have 4600 first-year students. This is the 100th cohort of students and I wish them huge success. This is my main desire,” he said.
