Extractions: After significant unrest and decline in the early 1990s, Georgia has made tremendous progress toward achieving political and economic stability over the past four years. President Eduard Shevardnadze's reelection in November 1995, together with his Citizens Union party's gaining power in Parliament, reaffirmed the solid reformist, democratic character of Georgian politics. Separatist conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia have been dormant for more than three years, with Russian peacekeepers deployed in both regions and a UN Observer Mission operating in Abkhazia. Economic progress is further evidence of the country's commitment to reform policies, developed in cooperation with the IMF and the World Bank. On December 7, 1998, Georgian authorities halted intervention to support the lari. In the beginning of October 1998, the value of the lari against the dollar was 1.37. As of mid-March, 1999, the rate was 2.22 lari to the dollar. The inflation rate in 1998 was 10.6 percent.

Extractions: COLCHIS, THE LAND OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE, REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA Ancient Greek legends told of a fabulously wealthy land where Jason and the Argonauts stole the Golden Fleece from King Aeetes with the help of his daughter Medea. It was a distant land that was reached by the Black Sea and down the River Phasis. The actual site of this legendary kingdom has never been found but the Greeks must have been greatly impressed by the Colchis region of Georgia, through which the River Phasis (currently the Rioni River) runs, for such stories to have been born. Geographically, ancient Colchis comprised the land bounded by the Black Sea to the west, the Caucasus Mountains to the north, the Surami Range to the east and the Meskhetian Mountains to the south. In this fertile, sheltered area, Colchian civilization flourished. Their Late Bronze Age (15th to 8th Century BC) saw the development of an expertise in the smelting and casting of metals that began long before this skill was mastered in Europe. Sophisticated farming implements were made and fertile, well-watered lowlands blessed with a mild climate promoted the growth of progressive agricultural techniques. It is likely that the Golden Fleece existed. Earlier in this century, remote mountain villagers in Svaneti (a part of ancient Colchis) were observed using sheepskins to trap the fine gold particles in the rivers that flowed from the Caucasus Mountains. The skins would then be dried and beaten to shake out their contents. However, it is debatable as to whether or not the legendary 'wealth' of Colchis referred only to gold. Archaeological evidence dates the earliest Greek imports of painted pottery and amphorae to the end of the 7th Century BC. In exchange, it is thought that Greeks sought the rich natural resources of Colchis including wood and metal ores as well as textiles. Even today, the mountain slopes remain heavily forested and the Ancient Greek writer, Herodotus, referred to the superior quality of Colchian linen.

Extractions: Republic of Georgia by Georgi Kokochashvili (Norwegian Refugee Council. Tbilisi, regional office) Shortly about Georgia History The Georgians themselves tell the following story about how they came to possess the land they deem the most beautiful in the world. When God was distributing portions of the world to all the peoples of the Earth, the Georgians were having a party and doing some serious drinking. As a result they arrived late and were told by God that all the land had already been distributed. When they replied that they were late only because they had been lifting their glasses in praise of Him, God was pleased and gave the Georgians that part of Earth he had been reserving for himself. Georgians do not call themselves Georgians but Kartvelebi and their land Sakartvelo Kurj or Gurj by which they are known to the Arabs and modern Persians. Another theory purports that the name comes from the Greek geo (earth); because when the Greeks came to Georgia they saw the Georgians working the land. The Classical world knew the inhabitants of eastern Georgia as Iberians, thus confusing the geographers of antiquity who thought this name applied only to the inhabitants of Spain. The Romans called it
