American cultural center to open in Tbilisi in March
The American Cultural Center will soon open in Tbilisi – a non-profit organization that will help strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Georgia.
According to the center, the main priority of their work will be projects designed to raise public awareness of American values, culture and traditions, as well as Washington's assistance in the fields of economy, defense, security and democratic development of Georgia. Funds for the implementation of initiatives will be raised from individuals and foundations.
The founders of the American cultural center are Zviad pochhua, editor-in-chief of the English-language Tbilisi newspaper The Financial, Michael Cowgill, Chairman of the U.S. chamber of Commerce in Georgia and President of the Georgian-American University (GAU), and Yevgeny Dzhokhidze, editor-in-chief of the Metronome online political newspaper.
"The American cultural center was created in response to the growing cooperation between Georgia and the United States. In an era of false information and propaganda, Georgian society needs a reliable source of information about American cultural values and U.S. interests in the region, " Zviad pochhua said.
In turn, Michael Cowigill is confident that the new center will play an important role in the process of Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration.
"For me, as a person with dual citizenship, there is nothing more important than the Euro-Atlantic integration of Georgia. The center can play a crucial role in this process, " the center's Chairman said.
The official presentation of the American cultural center will take place at the end of March in Tbilisi. The organization reminds that the United States is a strategic partner and the largest donor to Georgia. Thus, since the Declaration of independence, Georgia has received more than $ 4 billion in financial assistance from the United States.
In 2012, the scope of civil legal aid Washington has exceeded $ 64 million. In 2019, the us Congress allocated more than $ 90 million to Georgia for various civil society projects.
Over the past ten years, U.S. defense assistance to Georgia has averaged $ 68 million annually.
