The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency has installed six elevators for people with special needs in underpasses in Tbilisi in partnership with Tbilisi City Hall. The cost of the project was 100 000 USD.
The elevators, which have been installed at three locations in the city center, Melikishvili Street, Rustaveli Avenue, Liberty Square, will enable the free movement of people in wheelchairs.
Turkish Ambassador Fatma Ceren Yazgan visited these locations with Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze.
“It is very important to adapt the city for people with special needs. In the near future we will sign an agreement to implement such projects at various locations in Tbilisi. We must do everything to create an accessible environment for those who need it”, - said Kaladze.
