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 [[parish]]es 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.
By the decision of Holy [[Synod ]] of Georgia ([[October 17]], 2002), the Diocese of Borjomi and Akhalkalaki was separated into two dioceses: Borjomi-Bakuriani and Akhalkalaki-Kumurdo.
==The Diocese==
The Diocese of Akhalkalaki and Kumurdo includes the districts of Akhalkalaki and Ninotsminda. The episcopal [[see ]] is in Kumurdo. The primate is His High Eminence Nicolas, Metropolitan of Akhalkalaki and Kumurdo.
