Development and Support for Youth

Based on historical sources, we can confidently say that the Caucasus region has been welcoming people of different nationalities, beliefs, and ideologies since time immemorial, who worked together to achieve universal welfare. Back in the 17th century, the Georgian scientist, writer and politician Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani wrote a famous parable – “Strength is in unity”, which is the motto of Georgia today and occupies a worthy place on its coat of arms; Considering the mentioned value, it is not surprising that it is Georgia that appears as the initiator of the revival of the idea of a united Caucasus.
