Many of these Russian “visitors” don’t really feel any resentment towards their gov’t and the war in Ukraine. They simply don’t care. The situation is really getting out of hand. Georgian gov’t doesn’t really seem to find this problematic. 3/3

The prices for houses (including rents) have spiked and there could be other consequences that the country might be facing soon. All of this is happening as many Georgians are leaving the country due socio-economic reasons or are planning to in near future.

So, here’s one suggestion: if you haven’t decided on your travel plans in near future - do consider Georgia. This will help to slightly balance the situation out in short term period and will always have a positive effect locally. Long term solutions are up to the Georgians.

This is bizarre. As someone who is partially descended from Caucasian Albanians (through maternal Udi grandmother) and also, as a researcher of this topic, I can assure you that the two Albanias have no connection whatsoever.
President Bajram Begaj visited Kish church - first Albanian church, founded by the Apostle St. Eliseus in the first century. Azerbaijan also restored and protects this church as a part of its historic and religious heritage.

I think Armenia should start serious negotiations with the EU and eventually, apply to join as a member. It will not be easy in the current geopolitical situation but one day Georgia must become Armenia’s main partner on this path. Georgia and Armenia should be in the EU.
