Ganarjiis Mukhuri

Ganarjiis Mukhuri (Georgian: განარჯიის მუხური, also known as Ganmukhuri) is a village in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of western Georgia, in the Zugdidi municipality.

Within the administrative division of the municipality, Ganmukhuri is not part of a community (თემი, temi), but is an so called independent village (სოფელი, sopeli).

[16] This summer camp was aimed at young people between the ages of 15 and 20 to take advantage of cultural and sporting activities, and was part of a nationwide program.

Addressing those present, Saakashvili stated that "Georgians, Armenians, Azeris, Jews, Greeks and Ossetians from Tskhinvali will all reside in this camp together.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the Georgian authorities in a report to the UN Security Council to remove the camp: “To reduce the likelihood of incidents, the United Nations is joining the Friends Group in calling on the government of Georgia to move the camp out of the security zone”.

[17] The UN UNOMIG monitoring mission supervised compliance with the 1994 peace agreement, which stipulated a security zone of 10–15 kilometers on both sides of the conflict border.

[20][21] On August 18, 2008, the camp was set on fire and destroyed by Abkhaz militias, who occupied the village for 4 weeks after the official end of the 2008 war.
