(Song) Why was I created human? Why did I not come as rain— Forever living as Cloudbeads, suspended vapor, Earthbound As cold snow or dew? My Maker wouldn’t have sentenced me To a cruel, damnable fate! He’d have embraced me As his child and cradled me— I’d have little reason To feel constantly afraid. Basking instead in sunshine I’d have been death’s frustration; To both Earth and the heavens I could’ve laid my claim. Joy’d have filled me as I witnessed Mountains and valleys turn to green; Flowers’ anthers, stigma, petals Flooded with my own essence. By opening my heart-breast At each sunrise, each sunset I’d make the wilting landscape Quicken with budding energy. Though chilled as rain and flakes, Hope’s fire would remain within Translations © Irma Ratiani and Catherine Fletcher World Poetry Map Georgian www.citylore.org Translations © Irma Ratiani and Catherine Fletcher World Poetry Map Georgian www.citylore.org And my death to life would then Metamorphose—awakening And caressing the nape Of nature, renewed once again.

    TERMS OF REFERENCE Consultancy Service for Project Results Monitoring & Evaluation Section 1.Backgroundfor the Third Regional Development Project (RDP3) The Government of Georgia with World Bank are co-financing is implementing a US$75 million Third Regional Development Project (RDP3), focusing on Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti during the period of 2015-2019. The Project Development Objective is to improve infrastructure services and institutional capacity to support increased contribution of tourism in the local economy of the Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta- Mtianeti regions. The project aims at addressing challenges identified during the project preparation period and follows integrated approach to urban and tourism development. Through its various components the project is expected to lead to improved urban and tourist infrastructure, enhanced cultural heritage assets and increased capacity for tourism-based local economic development in these two regions. The economic benefits linked to the above are multiple, such as improved urban infrastructure, including public spaces, streetscapes and municipal roads, improved urban liveability and increased safety of movement for locals. At the same time, these investments are expected to make selected municipalities better places to visit and more attractive places to invest, promoting private investment and increasing income generating opportunities in the project area. Cultural heritage enhancements will lead to the preservation of global public goods, but are also expected to lead to increased willingness to visit/pay for tourist and increased property prices in neighbouring areas. The proposed investments are aligned with the regional development strategies, prepared with technical assistance from EU for Mtskheta-Mtianeti and by GiZ for Samtskhe-Javakheti.

    Grand Basilicas of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali Monasteries: Stages of Construction

    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 14, #2, 2020 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 14, no. 2, 2020 Art History Grand Basilicas of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali Monasteries: Stages of Construction Irene Giviashvili George Chubinashvili National Research Centre for Georgian Art History and Heritage Preservation, Tbilisi, Georgia (Presented by Academy Member Liana Melikishvili) The monasteries of Otkhta Eklesia and Parkhali are located in historic Tao on the very bordering points of the “Kingdom of Georgians”. The aim of this publication is to present the construction stages of these two monuments based on comparative analysis and historical background. Long term observations show that Otkhta Eklesia had at least three stages of construction and Parkhali had two. The walls of Otkhta Eklesia built in the Opus-Mixtum technique, remain from the original church. It could be remnant of the “Triple Church Basilica”, similar to one founded by Grigol of Khandzta in Nedzvi, in the 9th c. or even from an earlier establishment. At the second stage, the central nave was rebuilt with the new columns and the upper parts of the walls were added. This reconstruction is related to King David III and took place before 965. Soon, another grand reconstruction was carried out seeing the space of the apse enlarged due to replacement of the first pair of columns to the east. The height of the central nave and the apse was increased. We can assume that the changes to the plan came as a result of the new typicon and the liturgical order that was introduced to the Georgian Church from Mount Athos.

The problem related to David Gareji monastery complex dates back to the last century. The dispute arose due to a wrong resolution of the government of Georgia. In the present paper it is proved that the Gareji monastery complex belonged to Georgia from the very start of its existence. The mountain Gareja and David Gareji monastery complex were located in the old Georgian province Kukheti. The monastery was founded by one of the Assyrian fathers, David Garejeli (David of Gareja) in the 6th century. Assyrian Fathers are associated with the reinforcement of Christianity and construction of monasteries. David's Lavra was in the center. David Gareji monasteries played significant role in the cultural life of Georgian people. David IV the Builder (1084- 1115) did a lot for the monastery complex. He exempted them from the state taxes and supported their development in every way. David Gareji monastery complex is recognized as one of the most important monuments of Georgian Christian culture. The paintings on the walls of the churches and refectories are remarkable, especially the frescoes of King Tamar and Lasha-Giorgi in Bertubani church and the fresco of Demetre Tavdadebuli in Khareba church, Udabno. It should be taken into consideration that it is since the Soviet period as David Gareji monastery complex is recognized as the object of Georgian national culture, and since 2008 it is included in the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites as a Georgian cultural monument.
