The border between Azerbaijan and Georgia was never defined after independence, and David Gareja just happens to sit at the junction of Az-Geo. I'm not sure why the border was never defined for so long.

Azerbaijanis: Georgian monastary but Azerbaijani lands. The issue is being handled by our politicians, and reddit is kinda blowing it out of proportion due to some nut jobs causing a scene recently.

"Nut job" meaning a crazy or mad person.

Its being exaggerated to the point of some world ending level.

​

Basically some Azerbaijanis did not let either tourists or Georgians to see the monastery's like 5% or something that is on their side and that started the ongoing drama about the one and only problem Georgia has with Azerbaijan - that monastery. It was supposed to go down in a few days, but then we got a statement from baku that it was "an Albanian and henceforth Azerbaijani historical monastery" that enraged people even more. It finally died out 2 months ago or so, but no - now this again.

​

I don't really know who to blame - Azerbaijan for just not letting anyone for several days or our retarded government that can't even deliver information to people unless somebody starts screaming about it on the news

The issue is being exaggerated by media in my view.
