Imerkhevi

Imerkhevi

Imerkhevi (იმერხევი in Georgian, İmerhev in Turkish) is a valley in the north of Şavşat district in Artvin Province of Turkey along the border with Georgia. There are 14 villages in this area.

Imerkhevi was historically one of the subregions that made up the ancient Georgian principality of Shavsheti. After the implementation of Turk-Soviet and Turk-Georgian border in 1921, Imerkhevi became a part of Turkish territory. The centre of Imerkhevi, Diobani (დიობანი), was renamed as "Meydancık" by Turkish officials after 1925 and the vicinity has also become known as Meydancık.
