Not only do these unique examples of co-inhabitation exist but they do so in a mainly ethnic Azerbaijani part of Georgia that also serves as one of Armenia&#8217;s few outlets for trade and transportation as well as its connection to Tbilisi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, despite visiting those villages numerous times since 2010 or so, I nonetheless missed a festival held in one \u2013 Khojorni &#8211; that was staged precisely to celebrate the cosmopolitan nature of the district. Until this year&#8217;s report is out, written in collaboration with a colleague from Azerbaijan, you can read my short piece about the festival for the Caspian Post \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/caspianpost.com\/en\/post\/armenians-and-azerbaijanis-dance-under-one-sky-in-georgian-village\">here<\/a> and there&#8217;s an excerpt below. I also intend to write more on this in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there&#8217;s also a piece I wrote for Stratfor on two of those villages in 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/onnik-krikorian.com\/new_site\/unlikely-neighbours-ethnic-armenian-azerbaijani-coexistence-in-georgia\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em> Nestled in the hills and forests of Georgia just a kilometre from the country\u2019s border with Armenia, the residents of Khojorni, a small village numbering just 635, held on 18 November the first of what it hopes will be an annual multicultural festival, Under One Sky. Though such events are not uncommon throughout the country, what made this one special was that the population comprises one made up of ethnic Armenians and Azerbaijanis.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Lali Margiani, one of the teachers at the local school told the Tbilisi-based Aliq Media that the idea for the festival had been around for years, but plans to stage it had been frustrated by the recent pandemic. According to Margiani, the festival was important to demonstrate that it is \u201cpossible to live under one sky without conflict,\u201d and to offer yet another narrative of \u201ccoexistence and unity.\u201d Several other villages in the area are also co-inhabited by the two ethnic groups.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDuring the years I have lived here, I have not encountered any conflict in this village,\u201d 77-year-old Terlan Suleymanova, a Khojorni resident, told me on one of my many visits for over more than a decade in 2021. \u201cPeople have always treated each other well, visited each other\u2019s houses, and congratulated each other on their birthdays. We have always had a good relationship. At school, our relationship was even better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>[\u2026]\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In recent weeks, both Baku and Tbilisi again outlined the potential role that Georgia could play in hosting talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan as other platforms continue to falter. They point out that for many ethnic Armenian and Azerbaijani citizens of Georgia there is no conflict among them, especially in locations where the two live in close proximity. This is a remarkable reality that speaks volumes given that found elsewhere. The Khojorni festival hammered that home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Dancing together [\u2026] under the same sky, Armenians and Azerbaijanis and\u2026 me.
