The Week dedicated to the 40th jubilee of Mother Tongue has been opened in the Georgian parliament.

Giorgi Sharvashidze, Rector of Tbilisi State University said that it was symbolic that the activity was hosted by the parliament, since it was the parliament building where Georgian people united 14 years ago to protect the Georgian language.

According to Mariam Jashi, Chairwoman of the parliamentary Education and Science Committee, the mass protest of April 14, 1978, helped to preserve the status of state language to the Georgian language and prevented the Soviet Leadership to eradicate the article about state language in Constitution of Soviet Georgia.

Archive material of 1978 developments, three kinds of Georgian alphabet and ornament-decorative works on Georgian letters were exhibited in the parliament.
