Farewell in tears

The students and the teachers, who stayed as guests of different families for 5 days after attending the April 23 Festival, has firmly joined with their hosting families and their children during this time. The visitors who played and traveled through the historical and touristic sites of the city with their Turkish friends, didn’t ever want the time of departure to arrive. The students that didn’t hesitate to trip and entertain even in the rainy weathers, were sent again in the rainy weather off.

The Georgian students and their teachers, who were sent off by Vice Governor Nihat Nalbant, Director of National Education Selim Yavuz Sandikci, and hosting families, and were presented several different gifts, in front of the Governorship building of Trabzon yesterday, were drawn in tears. The Georgians, who caused the families of Trabzon cry, wished to meet again. Taking the gifts of Muzaffer Turen, the Branch Director of National Education, in tears, students said ‘I will come again,’ with Turkish phrases that they learnt in five days, and left.
