The exhibition was organized in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Georgia and features unique artifacts illustrating the presence of the Kipchaks in Georgia.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Georgia, Malik Murzalin, who noted that the Kipchaks inhabited vast territories of Eurasia and formed a powerful state entity. Their significant role in the development of a number of countries, including India, China, Egypt, Byzantium, Rus, Khorezm and others, was also highlighted.
