  • Eventyrlandet Mellom Kaukasus Og Svartehavet Vandreområde I Kaukasus Churchkhela – Søtsak Fra Georgia Stolte Tradisjoner I Vinproduksjonen
    9. – 16. septemberDATO 2016 GEORGIA – eventyrlandet mellom Kaukasus og Svartehavet Vandreområde i Kaukasus Churchkhela – søtsak fra Georgia Stolte tradisjoner i vinproduksjonen Bli med oss på en spennende reise og bli like fasinert som dikteren Knut Hamsun, som kalte Georgia for et «æventyrland». Et naturparadis - uoppdaget og ukjent for de fleste nordmenn – men en liten juvel i Europa venter. Den berømte Silkeveien gikk gjennom Georgia og det er her Europa møter Asia. I dag er landet en fascinerende blanding av orientalsk og vestlig eleganse. Dette frodige landet gir store naturopplevelser – 5000 meter høye fjelltopper, isbreer, storslåtte grønne daler, semi-ørken, subtropisk regnskog og langstrakte hvite strender. En tusenårig kultur med eldgamle klostre og kirker og spennende folklore og tradisjoner. En gammel, gregoriansk legende forteller at Vårherre under Jordens skapelse skulle ta seg en matbit. Han ble imidlertid så opptatt av det guddommelige måltidet at han snublet over Kaukasus høye fjell og mistet all mat og vin ut over Georgia.

  • Daily Report for 22 August 2008
    Emergency Operation in Georgia Daily Report for 22 August 2008 Displacements caused by recent conflict over South Ossetia Displacement within Georgia excl. South Ossetia 98,600 Displacement within South Ossetia 30,000 Sub Total Georgia 128,600 Displacement to Russian Federation 30,000 Displacements Total 158,600 In addition, Georgia has a caseload of 220,000 IDPs from previous crises. Displacement in the delta of the river Enguri UNHCR has today discovered a typical situation of night displacement in the delta of the river Enguri in Western Georgia. The right river bank, which used to be Georgian, is now under Abkhaz control and a total of 59 families (some 240 people) from the village of Ganmuhuri crossed the river in the evening on boats to spend the night with host families in Anaklia, the village on the other side. During the day the IDPs cross the river again to go home to work on their fields, especially now during the heights of the hazelnut harvest. UNHCR met with the mayor of Anaklia and promised to deliver blankets and some additional kitchen sets for the displaced and the host families. In this region, there are also plenty of old IDP families displaced during the conflict in the 1990’s and they too will receive blankets to make it easier for them to host the new IDPs. UNHCR to draft the strategy on shelter In a shelter coordination meeting which took place yesterday, it was agreed that UNHCR will draft the overall strategy for shelter by the end of the week. The strategy will be shared with all humanitarian partners on Monday, for information and comments, before its presentation to the Georgian Government later next week.

  • Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia
    The Churches of Mtskheta: Acceptance and Rejection of Foreign Influence in the Church Architecture of Eastern Georgia Samantha Johnson Senior Art History Thesis December 14, 2017 The small town of Mtskheta, located near Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, is the seat of the Georgian Orthodox Church and is the heart of Christianity in the country. This town, one of the oldest in the nation, was once the capital and has been a key player throughout Georgia’s tumultuous history, witnessing not only the nation’s conversion to Christianity, but also the devastation of foreign invasions. It also contains three churches that are national symbols and represent the two major waves of church building in the seventh and eleventh centuries. Georgia is, above all, a Christian nation and religion is central to its national identity. This paper examines the interaction between incoming foreign cultures and deeply-rooted local traditions that have shaped art and architecture in Transcaucasia.1 Nestled among the Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, present-day Georgia contains fewer than four million people and has its own unique alphabet and language as well as a long, complex history. In fact, historians cannot agree on how Georgia got its English exonym, because in the native tongue, kartulad, the country is called Sakartvelo, or “land of the karvelians.”2 They know that the name “Sakartvelo” first appeared in texts around 800 AD as another name for the eastern kingdom of Kartli in Transcaucasia. It then evolved to signify the unified eastern and western kingdoms in 1008.3 Most scholars agree that the name “Georgia” did not stem from the nation’s patron saint, George, as is commonly thought, but actually comes 1 This research addresses the multitude of influences that have contributed to the development of Georgia’s ecclesiastical architecture.

  • Daily Report for 21 August 2008
    Emergency Operation in Georgia Daily Report for 21 August 2008 Displacements caused by recent conflict over South Ossetia Displacement within Georgia excl. South Ossetia 98,600 Displacement within South Ossetia 30,000 Sub Total Georgia 128,600 Displacement to Russian Federation 30,000 Displacements Total 158,600 In addition, Georgia has a caseload of 220,000 IDPs from previous crises. Western Georgian distribution in full swing In Western and Central Georgia, UNHCR estimates that there are between 20 000 and 25 000 persons in need of assistance. The first shipment of aid arrived on August 19 by plane to Batumi airport and after a swift transport to the warehouses, the distribution is already well on its way. Today the UNHCR team distributed non-food items for some 500 IDPs in the city of Senaki. These IDPs have been in the region already since 1992 – 1993 and are now facing a new catastrophe as their centres have been damaged by the bombings. The UNHCR team assessing the damages concluded that immediate reparations are needed to provide proper shelter before winter. At the same time, a coordination meeting was held in the city of Kutaisi which will serve as a distribution hub for the region. The meeting, assisted by the local authorities, IDP representatives and UNHCR, assessed the needs in the area and the distribution started immediately reaching close to the western border of South Ossetia, as close as the villages of Sachkhre and Chiatura. Furthermore, the urgently needed hygiene kits are being distributed by ICRC and NRC, upon request from UNHCR.
