🇬🇪↔️🇸🇾 Georgia collects aid for the victims of the earthquake in Turkey, but there is no information about Syria - why?
In 2018, Georgia severed diplomatic and other relations with Syria in connection with its recognition of the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The decision of the Syrian regime to recognize the independence of the "Georgian regions of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region" violated international norms and principles. Syria made such a decision "as a result of manipulations by the Russian Federation," the Georgian Foreign Ministry claims.
❗️Accordingly, any initiatives aimed at supporting Syria are assessed negatively here.

🇬🇪🏀 The Georgian national basketball team has a historic chance to qualify for the World Championship.
This could happen in the qualifying match against Iceland on February 26 at the Tbilisi Arena. More than 70% of tickets have already been sold, so a full house is guaranteed. I recommend visiting the game for the atmosphere and emotions.

🇬🇪🚧🇷🇺 Upper Lars and the Georgian-Russian border are open to all types of transport.
On the Gudauri-Kobi section, vehicles are allowed to reverse (alternately) travel through avalanche tunnels.
❗️In the next five days, weather forecasters do not predict snowfall, so the road and the border will work as usual.

🇬🇪🛫🇷🇺 Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Georgian Parliament Nikoloz Samkharadze commented on yesterday's statement that the country had applied to the Russian Federation with a request to resume direct flights.
According to Russian Senator Dzhabarov, a few weeks ago Georgia turned to Russia with a request to resume flights between the countries.
The deputy of the Georgian parliament responded by saying that in fact there was nothing like that.
“This didn't happen. Yes, Russians in general often lie,” said Samkharadze.

👵🏻 Every fifth citizen of Georgia is a pensioner.
The National Statistical Service of Georgia counted 808,000 pensioners. At the same time, the population of the country is 3 million 688 thousand people. With simple calculations, it turns out that every 5th resident or 22% of the total population of Georgia are pensioners. At the same time, there are much more women in retirement than men - 71%. The reason for such a large gap is due to the fact that Georgian women retire five years earlier. Plus, life expectancy for women in Georgia is higher - 75.4 years, and for men - only 67.5 years.
Most pensioners live in Tbilisi.

🌋🏚 80% of residential buildings in Tbilisi do not meet seismic resistance requirements.
“The earthquake with a magnitude of more than 7 points would wipe off the face of the earth more than 70% of Tbilisi, we may face a catastrophe,” said Irakli Rostomashvili, head of the Association of Builders. According to him, the percentage of modern houses that must withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 in the capital is small, most of the buildings are old construction. A separate threat is posed by unauthorized superstructures, changes in layouts and demolitions of load-bearing walls in residential buildings.
❗️Georgy Boychenko, head of the geology department of the National Center for Seismic Monitoring, said that Georgia is still guided by an outdated seismic risk map that was developed in 1999.
In 2020, the center, together with foreign experts, compiled a new map, but it has not yet been approved.

❤️📽 Director Lado Kvatania shot a very beautiful video clip for the Georgian band Mgzavrebi - about an invisible connection with departed loved ones.
Here are exclusive photos from the shooting. In the frame - views of Tbilisi and Racha, the timelessness of Georgian villages and the mystical ritual of ablution with milk. The authors managed to shoot a small and very sincere film, the work on which lasted several months. In the center of the plot is a young Georgian couple who are waiting for the birth of their daughter. At the same time, the main character's mother dies, and he is deeply mourning her. At the end of the clip, the image of the deceased mother takes part in a mysterious ritual of ablution with milk, as a result of which an elderly woman turns into a child. The film tells about an invisible connection with a departed loved one and about the mystical possibility of the reincarnation of the soul.
Lado Kvatania himself explains that the black-and-white footage in the clip is not archival. They were filmed in Racha and Bakhmaro in autumn. "It's a miracle that we managed to capture this fragile timelessness - life in Georgian villages."
🎞 The music video for the track of Mgzavrebi - Waltz is available at the link.

🇬🇪❤️🇹🇷 Dozens of trucks travel from Georgia and through the country to the earthquake-ravaged regions of Turkey.
In Tbilisi, Batumi and other cities there are daily collections of humanitarian aid. Trucks are filled with food, warm clothes, hygiene items. Numerous trucks from Azerbaijan also go through Georgia (pictured).

🌋❌ Rumors are spreading on social networks about an allegedly possible strong earthquake in Tbilisi - this is a lie.
It all started with WhatsApp and Viber chats. It is not known who served as the personal source. The National Earth Institute was even forced to issue a statement that although Georgia is a seismically active zone, short-term forecasts are not possible here. I also urge you to use only trusted sources.
