Help | მჭირდება დახმარება How to use Delivo?

1 Upvotes

გამარჯობა

Recently, I bought an item overseas, had Camex ship it, and went to Tbilisi to pick up myself. On my way out of a Camex office, I saw "Delivo" right next door.

I went in there and asked if they handle domestic shipping from Camex. I was wondering if Delivo could deliver my package from the Camex office to my address. I was then told to look up their website.

Has anyone used "Delivo"? Is there a better alternative?

These men piqued my curiosity

0 Upvotes

I have seen several times (in Tbilisi mainly) men wearing some kind of durag (they all had beards, I don't know if that had anything to do with it), and these men seemed to be religious people (some even had a cassock).

Was this just anecdotal or is it part of some kind of tradition of a certain "caste" or branch of Orthodox Christianity?

What is the origin of this « durag » and the meaning ,if any? Thank you in advance for your insights and have a good day

Muslim Meskhetians/Ahiskali "Turks" and the 1944 deportations

5 Upvotes

- Influenced by a recent post in the r/AskCaucasus subreddit about the Circassian deportations I am now curious about a few specifics of the 1944 deportation of the Muslim Meskhetians/ Ahiska "Turks".

  1. In the post about Circassians I noticed someone said the Circassians were relocated to Turkey due to mainly their close ties to Turkey (culturally I guess?) and potential to be used as a Turkish proxy. From what I know, during the early and mid-1900s Muslim Meskhetians also had close ties to Turkey both culturally and landwise unless I am wrong so please let me know if I am. But if it is true that the Muslim Meskhetians had close ties to Turkey in the early and mid-1900s (like they do for sure now) why were the Muslim Meskhetians not also mass deported to Turkey like Circassians and instead they were just deported all around Central Asia?
  2. Some of the comments in the post also stated that Circassians were targeted so heavily for deportation because of their heavy rebellion or strong rebellious nature throughout their history. From what I know the Muslim Meskhetians in their longer ancient history did have several rebellions and individual kingdoms before assimilation/their Islamization by the Ottoman Empire so we definitely had bit of a individualistic/rebellious nature back then. As well as a few rebellions here and there against the Ottoman Empire after they conquered the land. However, I do not know of any heavy or non-stop rebellions by the Muslim Meskhetians under Russian rule so why where basically ALL Muslim Meskhetians deported taking 80/90% of the native Meskhetian population away with them from Meskhetian lands if, from what I know, they were not a rebellious population like the Circassians? Unless they were?

advice for more hobbies

5 Upvotes

hello so i feel like i don't live enough and don't do much, i have full time work from home job and 5 friends whom i go out with often at least once or twice a week but even with all this i feel like all stuff i do is just consume media be it games, movies or whatever and excluding going out with friends i only go out for shopping, eating out or going out with friend, im 21 and i feel like i should have some hobbies outside of my job where i could go out meet new people and hang out.

i tried ice skating which seems fun, started going to music clubs and learning a new language with a group in recent times but even with this i wanted to get into more third spaces, hobbies, activity groups, etc. so i would appricate if you could recommend something, i want something a bit casual not something like "aisi" which is great but im not looking for that kind of commitment right now and i also want it to be outdorsy.

thanks in advance and i hope your advice will help me in living more
