Once upon a time, at the foot of the mountains, Erzurum, the pearl of the east, and its neighbour Tbilisi were writing one of the unforgettable stories of friendship. The two cities were closely connected throughout history, full of cultural exchanges, trade routes, and brotherhood ties.

Erzurum's stone streets, historic inns, and blue skies met with Tbilisi's warm embrace. At the heart of both cities lived people who knew the value of friendship and tolerance. However, this friendship sometimes goes beyond ordinary stories, doesn't it?

Our story begins with two young men: Ali and David. Ali was a proud resident of Erzurum; he was calm, patient, and loved by everyone. David was an energetic citizen of Tbilisi, cheerful, enthusiastic, and able to make everyone laugh. The two young people met one day and immediately became close to each other.

In the beginning, even though their languages were different, their hearts were the same. Ali showed David the customs, food, and streets of Erzurum. David introduced Ali to Tbilisi's colourful festivals, dances, and hospitality. Each time they met, they embarked on a new adventure.

One day, the two young men decided to climb the snow-covered mountains of Erzurum. When they reached the top of the mountains, they were greeted by a magnificent view. Ali pointed to the dazzling view and said, "Look David, isn't Erzurum a beautiful city?" David replied with a smile, "Yes, indeed it is. But Tbilisi is also full of its own beauties."

It was a moment for both of them when they realised how valuable their friendship was. At the top of the mountain, at a site where Erzurum and Tbilisi meet, they added another memory to their friendship.

As time passed, Ali and David worked together to strengthen the bridge between the two cities. As trade, cultural exchange, and tourism increased, the friendship between Erzurum and Tbilisi deepened. Events, festivals, and mutual visits between the two cities reinforced people's love and respect for each other.
