TBILISI (ANA/G. Milionis) - Deputy Foreign Minister Panayiotis
Skandalakis, visiting the Federation of Greek Societies of Georgia,
which he is visiting officially, on Monday emphasised that the
priorities of the Greek state are focused on speedying up the issuing
of special identity cards for expatriates and on how youth of Greek
origin will stay in its birthplace.
Skandalakis said that the special purpose of his visit here is to be
briefed and to have an on-the-spot evaluation of the situation
prevailing for ethnic Greeks in the region of Calka.
Earlier, Skandalakis signed the renewal of the contract amounting to
35,000 euros for the dean of the University of Tbilisi's Institute of
Classic, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies Rismag Gorteziani, while
the contract was also signed by Greece's Ambassador to Georgia
Konstantina Mavroskelidou. As a result of the contract, the Greek
language is taught at 17 schools in 12 different regions in Georgia
where infrastructures exist.
