Kvareli Minorities to Enter Niko Ketskhoveli Competition


A large number of villages inhabited by ethnic minorities distinguishes
Kvareli Municipality. The villages include Saruso, Tivi, Zinobiani and
Mtisdziri, where Leks, Udebs and Ossetians are living. The minorities and
Georgian have historically shared strong ties that would manifest itself
with trade and other relationships, however, due to social, religious and
political factors, theses ties weakened, resulting in a break in community
livelihoods.



These circumstances negatively affect the communities, especially the
ethnical minorities. Today, the only means of communication between
Georgians and ethnic minorities is the Akhalsopeli market, which gathers
once a week and an annual public holiday – Sameboba, where a grappling
tournament takes place. Of course, this is not enough for strengthening the
community ties.
