Forgotten by Many and Remembered by Few’ : Religious Responses to Forced Migration in Georgia

Metreveli, Tornike LU orcid (2022) p.273-300
Abstract
This chapter examines the institutional dimensions of religious responses
to forced migration in contemporary Georgia. It focuses on the internally
displaced population of Georgia from the two breakaway territories of
Abkhazia and South Ossetia/Tskhinvali region to further scrutinise how
major religious organisations respond to the signifijicant migration crises on
the level of policy and discourse. The chapter shows that despite significant
organisational capacities, internally displaced people are largely ignored
by all major religious organisations who, beyond political disagreements,
also engage in various property and economic disputes.
