You have probably heard that the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi,is the most multinational and multi-confessional city in the South Caucasus. Followers of both the main world religions and ethno-religious societies have long lived here.
On our tour,you will learn how the new inhabitants of Tiflis adapted to the conditions of modern realities,in which districts and quarters they settled, and how they managed to preserve their centuries-old culture and religion.
According to most modern researchers,it is the Yezidis who are the descendants of the Sumerians,the first civilization on earth.
Throughout their long-suffering history,the Yezidis have survived 74 acts of genocide because of their religious affiliation.Surprisingly, this people managed to almost completely preserve their language, cultural identity and religion.Thanks to the tolerant Georgian people, the Yezidis,along with other ethnic groups living on the territory of Georgia, feel safe and most of them are full-fledged citizens.
