Photos are great, for sure. But I dont like the politicized inclination of the review - Greeks were accepted in Georgia and they lived peacefully here for centuries. Now, when country faced devastation and poverty, they went to their homeland cause the Greek government takes much care of the repatriated Greeks. If their homes back Georgia were looted or damaged it's doesn't imply that they were destroyed on the ethnic basis. It;s a very bad tone and it's sold as a propaganda.
I am a modern greek specialist myself and I this issue is familiar to me.
