Javakheti
Javakheti ((グルジア語:ჯავახეთი) (:dʒɑvɑχɛtʰi)) or Javakhk ((アルメニア語:Ջավախք) (:dʒɑvɑχkʰ)) is a historical province in southern Georgia, corresponding to the modern Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda municipalities. Historically, Javakheti borders in the west to the Kura River (Mtkvari), and in the north, south and east with the Shavsheti, Samsari and Nialiskuri mountains. Principal economic activities in this region are subsistence agriculture, particularly potatoes, and raising livestock.
In 1995, the Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda districts, comprising the historical territory of Javakheti, was merged with the neighboring land of Samtskhe to form a new administrative region, Samtskhe-Javakheti. Armenians comprise the majority of Javakheti's population.
==Etymology==
In terminology, the name ''Javakheti'' is taken from ''javakh'' core with traditional Georgian ''–eti'' suffix; commonly, ''Javakheti'' means the home of Javakhs, as for example, the word ''Ossetia'' is taken from Georgian ''Osi'' plus ''-eti''. The ''-k'' suffix in Armenian has an identical meaning.
The earliest mention of the name was found in Urartu sources, in the notes of king Argishti I of Urartu, 785 BC, as ''Zabaha''.
