Vakhushti Bagrationi tells us about the village Kondoli: "Bodbe ... the bishop sits, the shepherdGuildenstadt of the“A Journeysword before to Georgia the Kondoli(Giuldenstedt ... and 1964:there 41are his saddles on the sword before the Kondole and Manava" (Acts 4: 542,6-8). Kondoli in XVII-XVIII Keywords centuries belonged to the Alaverdi Temple (Georgian Law No. 1972: 312). Condolences were owned by Andronikashvilis (Doc. Soci. Hist. 1940: 331; 1953: Abashidze; 274). World War II was a large-scale war on its scale. All the republics of the airplane; Soviet Union, including Georgia, found themselves in a state of war. This war, Georgians; perpetrated by the Germans, was perceived by the peoples of the Soviet Union Kondolი village; as a "Great Patriotic War" as each of them faced destruction. Participation in the Lionidze Holes; war was perceived as the struggle of each republic for its homeland and the Solomon Lionidze; survival of the united states from fascism, as the plans for the conquest of Vermicht were similar to those of the Soviet Union and rendered them fascist. More than half a million people, some 200,000 of them dead or missing, we're left with 100,000. The village of Condoli with its brave hero was no exception. Many young people were recruited from this village, many of whom had never returned home. International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities © 2020.

It is located on the plain of Alazani, on the left bank of the Kisiskhevi River. 460 meters above sea level, 6 kilometers from Telavi. Kondol is one of those historic villages in Georgia, whose existence and sweet-bitter life shaped the famous history of the Georgian nation (Teachman & Tedrow, 2004; Waldenström & Frey, 2008; Escobar, 1989; Eichengreen, 1994). It was one of the most beautiful parts of the beautiful Alazani Valley from ancient times, but over time the indigenous peoples gradually settled to the south and formed the geographical area of today's rural development. Thakara sun and the highly fertile Alazani valley have always provided favorable conditions for crop production. The village has long been known for producing famous wheat bread (wheat varieties). It was from Kona-Kondi that the wheat of the Dohlites was confined to a village called Con-Dohl, then the Condole. Kondol's children from ancient times were distinguished by their bravery. It is noteworthy that Solomon Lionidze's adviser to King Erekle was a Condolean and had a native, large wine cellar in the Condole (today there are vineyards in the village of Condole called by the locals as Lionidze's caves. King Erekle was a frequent visitor (Swuste et al., 2014; Wansink et al., 2008; Gordon, 1998; Robinette & Fraumeni 1978). Condoleans have been a source of income for viticulture. Kondol's praise is also known for the character of the great Georgian historian Vakhushti Batonishvili. She writes: "Good wine, great Condolean." World War II, the most extensive war ever carried on any Georgian family. These are not exaggerated words. We will find out from the materials below. Contents: All the republics of the Soviet Union, including Georgia, have found themselves in a state of war.

  • GEORGIA Second Edition March 2010
    WHO DOES WHAT WHERE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN GEORGIA Second edition March 2010 Georgian National Committee of Disaster Risk Reduction & Environment Sustainable Development FOREWORD Georgia is a highly disaster-prone country, which frequently experiences natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudflows, avalanches, and drought) as well as man-made emergencies (e.g. industrial accidents and traffic accidents). Compounding factors such as demographic change, unplanned urbanization, poorly maintained infrastructure, lax enforcement of safety standards, socio-economic inequities, epidemics, environmental degradation and climate variability amplify the frequency and intensity of disasters and call for a proactive and multi-hazard approach. Disaster risk reduction is a cross-cutting and complex development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, responsible enforcement of policies and legislation, people-centred early warning systems, and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. Close collaboration of policy-makers, scientists, urban planners, engineers, architects, development workers and civil society representatives is a precondition for adopting a comprehensive approach and inventing adequate solutions. Multi-stakeholder and inter-agency platforms can help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and resources required for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, for coordination of planning and programmes,
