The books were transported to Georgia through the collaboration of Georgia’s Ambassador to Germany Lado Chanturia, and Georgia’s Ministry of Refugees.
Meanwhile, the university and the Ministry signed a memorandum today through which the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons, Accommodation and Refugees will provide TSU with educational-scientific literature.
