Tsalka is a town in southern Georgia's Kvemo Kartli region, with a population of 22,000. According to the 2002 census 55 per cent of its population is Armenian, 22 per cent Greek, 12 per cent Georgian, and 9.5 per cent Azeri.
Several thousands of ethnic Georgians who had suffered from landslides in Svaneti and Adjara were settled in Tsalka in 1997-2006.[1] The town and its district has experienced occasionally violent ethnic division in the recent decade.
