Several opinions about Christ as the greatest man in the history of mankind

As it is known, among of 7 billion 800 million people in the world, today about 2 billion citizens are followers of the various Christian confessions. For centuries, especially after 1054, representatives of two main directions of Christianity - Orthodoxy and Catholicism (and later also protestantism) have not ceased to argue about the origin of the Holy Spirit.

However, at the present stage, unfortunately there are less debate about Christ, as a greatest human - of course together with his divine nature. It should be mentioned about Jesus Christ as the greatest man in the history of mankind who has helped many people during his life and committed the greatest goods, first of all as a man.

In this regard, it is important to note that the diversity of views in the Christian world first manifested itself especially in the 5th century. During this period within the Christian church, the controversy over the nature of Jesus Christ was particularly intense. In the middle of the 5th century, a new trend emerged in Alexandria - Monophysitism. The Monophysites denied the human origin of Christ and recognized only his the divine nature. The World Ecclesiastical Assembly of Chalcedon condemned monophysitism in 451 and recognized Diophysitism.

Accordingly, Diophysitism (in Greek δυο-two, φύσις-nature) as a doctrine was adopted at the World Ecclesiastical Assembly of Chalcedon in 451 (hence the second name of Diophysitism: Chalcedonism), where Nicaea's first ecclesiastical assembly (325) and Constantinople's first ecclesiastical symbol (381) approved the new definition: There are two natures of Jesus - Divine and Human.

Nevertheless, the Eastern Churches became monophysite in Syria, Palestine, and Armenia.
As it is known, in today's Christian world, Diophysites (Orthodox, Catholics and Protestants) are in the absolute majority. Therefore, It can be considered, that the duty of the Christian world - to worship to Christ, first of all as the greatest, noblest, most honorable man, who, by carrying the cross to Golgotha, has expressed his willingness to bear the brunt of the hardships of human life. Christ is the greatest man who, in spite of the greatest physical and spiritual pain at the time of his crucifixion, took upon himself the sins of all mankind and thus accomplished the greatest human mission.

    By: Nika Chitadze President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia – International and Security Research Center Director of the Center for International Studies Professor of the International Black Sea University In terms of social-economic aspects related to COVID 19, International Community is faced before the following sad reality. According to the International Monetary Fund, if humanity manages to defeat Coronavirus by the end of 2020, then the world economy will shrink by about 3%, which is a relatively optimistic scenario.

Situation in the Middle East and Black Sea Region and Possible Restarting of Turkish-American Relations

Nika Chitadze Director of the Center for International Studies of International Black Sea University President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia – International and Security Research Center Professor of the International Black Sea University     Introduction It is well known that military-political cooperation between the two leading NATO states, the United States and Turkey, has deteriorated significantly over the past two years. Specifically, if both countries are interested in ending the Assad regime in Syria, Washington and Ankara may be the main reason for US dissatisfaction with Syria - mainly the military support of Kurdish formations fighting the Assad regime on the Turkish state border. For its part, Turkey views armed formations created by Syrian Kurds as terrorists. In addition, official Ankara fears that a possible intensification of separatism in the Syrian - populated region of Syria could have an effect on activating
