The International Day for Tolerance was marked at the Tbilisi City Assembly [Sakrebulo].
“Religious, ethnic and cultural diversity are the primary values that have strengthened the country. Our folks shape Tbilisi’s reality and image. Allow tolerance to be our everlasting companion”, - said Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi.
The Council for Ethnic Minorities organized a special event attended by City Assembly members, and diplomats, in which ethnic minorities displayed their handcrafted goods.
In 1996, the UN General Assembly proclaimed November 16 as International Day for Tolerance.
