Akhalkalaki is a small city in Georgia's southern region of Samtskhe-Javakheti with a population of 60,975. Akhalkalaki lies on the edge of the Javakheti Volcanic Plateau. The city is located about 30 km from the border with Turkey. 90 percent of the city's population are ethnic Armenians after expulsion of Meskheti Turks in 1944. The city was passed from Ottomans to Russians after Russo-Turkish War (1828-1829). Under the Ottoman rule, the town was known as Ahőlkelek and was a sanjak centre in ‚őldőr Eyaleti. On January 4, 1900, an earthquake destroyed much of the town and killed 1,000 people in the area. In April 2005, an agreement was signed to build a new railway connecting Turkey with Georgia and Azerbaijan, passing through Akhalkalaki. This would bypass an existing line through Gyumri in Armenia which has been closed by Turkey, blockading Armenia, for political reasons since the 1990s ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
