Mr. Revaz bore this heaviest burden with dignity, which once again demonstrates his spiritual strength and sacrifice for the country. Today, at the age of 85, Mr. Revaz continues to serve the country, this time by educating the next generation. It is a great honor for us, for the Georgian Technical University, that he is our professor. Revaz Mishveladze shares with students not only knowledge but also spiritual wealth and cultural heritage.

I wish health, peace, and many happy years,” the rector noted in his speech.

Your unwavering devotion to the Georgian language, culture, and national values has a particularly significant impact on us. Your work reminds us of the power of life that has grown from the roots, of the dignity that is love and knowledge of one’s own country.
