Samachablo

Samachablo

Samachablo ( _ka. სამაჩაბლო) is a historical district in Shida Kartli, Georgia, which currently lies entirely within the breakaway Republic of South Ossetia. The name "Samachablo" (literally, "of Machabeli") derives from the Georgian aristocratic family of Machabeli who once held possession of the area. With the rise of Georgian-Ossetian interethnic tensions in the late 1980s, the name was revived by the Georgians and has sometimes been semi-officially used since then. [Potier, Tim (2001), "Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia: A Legal Appraisal", p. 139. Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, ISBN 9041114777.]

This territory is currently referred to as Tskhinvali region by Georgian authorities after the name of its only city.
