  • Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality
    Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality 2020 POLICY STUDY Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality Aleksandre Kvakhadze POLICY STUDY 2020 Introduction Since declaring its independence, the Georgian state has been struggling with the integration of its ethnic minorities. The regions densely populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis and Armenians have been passively involved in the social and political processes in Georgia. The combination of the legacy of Soviet ‘national policy,’ an ineffective educational system and socio-economic problems hinder the integration of these regions. This paper will be devoted to the Gardabani municipality, an administrative entity with a significant Azerbaijani population. Several factors have determined the choice of this region for this study. Firstly, geographically speaking, the region represents a suburban area of the cities of Tbilisi and Rustavi. It can be considered as a part of ‘greater Tbilisi/Rustavi’ or a ‘Tbilisi-Rustavi agglomeration.’ Secondly, despite its proximity to Georgia’s political and economic center, the Azerbaijani community in this region has been leading a parallel life and is disconnected from the country’s social and political dynamics. Simultaneously, very little is known about this region and very little research has been carried out on its multi-ethnic population. Unlike the neighboring Marneuli municipality, which has been receiving increasing attention from academia, the media and the non-governmental sector, the Azerbaijani population in Garbadani remains neglected by academic and non-governmental bodies. For instance, there is no comprehensive academic research on the linguistic, historical, ethnologic, social and religious parameters of Azerbaijanis in Gardabani. The absence of reliable works leads to myths and uncertainties regarding Georgia’s Azerbaijanis.

The two districts under study are part of Kvemo Kartli province and are located near the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, to the south of the city. Gardabani District borders Azerbaijan, while Marneuli District borders both Azerbaijan and Armenia. Marneuli District includes the Red Bridge checkpoint on the Armenian and Azerbaijani border. Both districts are predominantly agricultural, with vegetables being the main produce. Potatoes play an especially big role. While we do not have specific data for the two districts under study, on the whole, in 2000 Kvemo Kartli province produced 126,000 tonnes of potatoes, which constituted 41.8 per cent of Georgia’s total potato production. In the same year, the province produced 25.4 per cent of all the vegetables grown in Georgia.
