The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on plans by US President Donald Trump's family, along with local partners, to build a 70-story Trump Tower in Tbilisi. According to the publication, the building is slated to be the tallest in the Georgian capital.
This news comes amid the ruling Georgian Dream party's desire to restore relations with the United States and establish a partnership with the Trump administration.
During the annual "Year in Review" press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin, responding to a question about support for young families, noted the tradition of early marriages in the North Caucasus. He said he believed this was "right" and suggested "following their example," citing Ramzan Kadyrov's large family.
"There's a good tradition in the Caucasus. They marry their children off at a fairly early age. This is truly right. We should follow their example. I know because Ramzan Kadyrov has a large family, many children, and they marry at a fairly early age. He told me: 'We have this tradition in the Caucasus as a whole.' And that's great," the president shared.
Putin previously said that the state provides significant support to young families, but the main problem is the reluctance of young people to have children early.
