\n<\/strong>4th International Conference \u201cTao-Klarjeti\u201d<\/strong>
\n21-24 September, 2016
\n<\/p>\n

Tao-Klarjeti, as a collective name, stands for the north-eastern historical provinces of Turkey (Tao, Klarjeti, Shavsheti, Kola, Artaani, Chrdili, etc.). Due to its strategic location as a meeting point of various ethnic groups and an intersection of cultures, the Tao-Klarjeti region has consistently and throughout the centuries attracted interest of various larger powers and regional actors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tao-Klarjeti is rich in historic political, administrative, episcopal and monastic centers, replete with churches, late antique and medieval fortifications, monumental paintings and reliefs, manuscript heritage and gold artifacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

International and local political, social, economic, demographic and ethno-confessional processes have left a long-lasting impact on the daily life of the peoples of Tao-Klarjeti and have been engrained in religious practices, place names, languages and dialects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early state formations on the territory of Tao-Klarjeti, as well as new political and religious centers that appeared throughout the middle ages, have played a crucial role in the formation of Georgian culture and eventually, statehood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, for a long time travel to the region was restricted and possibilities for scholarly research were scarce. Nowadays Tao-Klarjeti is visited by an increasing number of scholars, along with a constantly growing flow of tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gradual exposure of the region to a wider public has generated a strong scholarly and public interest in the Tao-Klarjeti region. The first Interdisciplinary International conference dedicated to the region was held in 2010 and has since then become a regular event.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
