A history professor of Ilia State University, George Sanikidze, posted:
> A fairly large reaction followed the attendance of government representatives at the ceremonial reception dedicated to the Iranian Revolution, including their delivery of welcome speeches. Due to my profession, I also received an invitation, but considering the current situation in Iran, I did not consider it appropriate to attend. With this post, I want to highlight one particularly noteworthy nuance. The invitation envelope reads: *“The 410th Anniversary of the Arrival of Georgians in Iran”* – which points to the year 1616 – the period of Shah Abbas’s campaigns (1613–1617), when a large part of the population of Kakheti was killed by Iranian forces and a significant portion of the survivors were forcibly resettled in Iran. In other words, the Iranian side is “celebrating” one of the most tragic events in Georgian history, and in response to such an insult the authorities not only show no reaction, but even the Deputy Foreign Minister delivers a welcoming speech. I think no further comment is necessary…
*importations.
Sanikidze is a good man, he was my lecturer at Iliauni. He already said he won’t be attending this nonsense.
For some added context, this guy isn’t going to have a job for much longer, as according to yesterday’s announcement, the Ministry of Education will be closing all the humanities departments at Iliauni. The „educational reform“ is aimed precisely at silencing his voice and those like his.
I think that this is not a completely bad thing, this topic certainly gives room to manipulation, but overall I think having Georgian village in Iran is a great opportunity to see our culture modified in other words see our culture in a different way(that’s very interesting), also having strong diaspora in foreign country is not bad.
1616+ children from Georgia saved from getting trafficked!
Imagine being an Ukrainian official and attending a celebratory anniversary of Holodomor. Pathetic
Iran was most of our history; it was what Russia is to us today, before Russia existed.
Looking at things this way is just short-sighted. What are we supposed to do then — stay angry at everyone forever? Hate all our neighbors, cut ties with everyone, and end up small and weak? History shouldn’t be forgotten, but it should stay in the past. You can’t build a future by constantly digging up old conflicts. Iran, Turkey, and Russia are all major markets and opportunities for Georgia. You can’t live by constantly fueling hatred through historical grievances. The right approach is to learn from the past, remember it, and use those lessons to build a better future.
