Municipality in Mtskheta-Mtianeti

Historically divided between a Georgian-controlled east and an Ossetian-controlled west prior to 2008, the entirety of Akhalgori (known as Leningor by Tskhinvali authorities) is now occupied. The Georgian state continues to officially recognize its 101 villages within the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. The demographics of these villages were radically altered post-2008. Prior to the conflict, the population was primarily ethnic Georgian (6,520) alongside Ossetians (1,110). Following the occupation, an estimated 70% of the population—and up to 90% of local ethnic Georgians—fled the area to Tbilisi and other regions, citing a climate of fear and discrimination. The rigid preservation of this village list ensures that the pre-war property claims and municipal identities of these IDPs are legally protected in Georgian jurisprudence, securing the memory of an ethnically mixed district against separatist claims.
