  • 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.

  • City Telavi (Kakheti Region) Sewage Collector Rehabilitation Sub-Project
    City Telavi (Kakheti Region) Sewage Collector rehabilitation Sub-Project Environmental and Social Screening and Environmental Management Plan WORLD BANK FINANCED SECOND REGIONAL AND MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Tbilisi, Georgia June 2015 Environmental Screening Sub-Project (SP) envisages rehabilitation of the existing central sewerage collectors in Telavi city. The SP site is located in Telavi, main city and administrative center of Kakheti Region, Georgia's eastern province. Its population approximately consists of 21,800 inhabitants. The city is located on foothills of Tsiv-Gombori Mountain Range at 500–800 meters above the sea level. Telavi sewer system was built mainly of d=200 mm pipes and represents a gravity network. The collectors of d=300 mm pipes, cross the main channel of the irrigation system flowing north, join beside of the Telavi-Kvareli highway adjacent to the airport, proceed along the right side of the highway, cross agricultural lands and deliver sewage to a biological treatment plant located on bank of Alazani river, on the upper slope of floodplain. Purified water discharge pipe flows into the river Alazani. Telavi sewerage system (main collectors) is virtually in ruins and needs to be totally rehabilitated. Since decades the sewer system does not include any waste water treatment and even proper sewage drainage is no longer given.Currently Telavi fecal sewage network is in a satisfactory condition but on the upper (right) side of the main channel of Alazani Irrigation Scheme, the collectors are broken at 3 locations and sewage discharges into irrigation canal. As the channel dries at a certain time of the year, the sewage flowing into the channel causes significant aggravation of sanitary conditions.
