They received presents and flowers from Burchuladze, who said meeting the employees was “one of the greatest honours”, and extended best wishes to them.

The celebration of Mother’s Day was established in Georgia in 1991 for promoting the understanding of the role of women in the family and their efforts in the upbringing of children.
