Javakheti became a strong principality within Kingdom of Kartli (East Georgia).
Also, Javakheti is important historically due to the fact that [[Nino of Cappadocia|St. Nino]], Enlightener of Georgia, entered Georgia through Javakheti, near Paravani lake. Christian parishes were here even before St Nino.
In the 1990s the Diocese of Borjomi and Akhalkalaki was restored. This diocese included territory previously belonging to Kumurdo, and it was the successor of the Diocese of Kumurdo.
