Tsalka

Tsalka (Georgian: წალკა, romanized: ts'alk'a [tsʼaɫkʼa], Greek: Τσάλκα, Armenian: Թռեղք, romanized: T’ṙeġk’ or Ծալկա, Azerbaijani: Barmaqsız) is a town and municipality center in southern Georgia's Kvemo Kartli region.

According to the 2014 census, 47% of its population is Georgian, 38% Armenian, 7% Caucasus Greeks, and 7% Azerbaijanis.

In the past, Greeks used to be the majority of Tsalka, but now their numbers have considerably decreased due to emigration to Greece.

Several thousand ethnic Georgians who had suffered from landslides in Svaneti and Adjara were settled in Tsalka in 1997–2006.

[2] The settlement of these newcomers sometimes led to ethnic tensions with Tsalka's Greek and Armenian population.
