On 17-20 February 2011, a three day expedition was organized to historical Tao-Klarjeti by the Agency of Protection of Georgian Cultural Heritage. The experts – art historians, historians, architects, constructors and journalists became acquainted with the monuments of Georgian architecture on-site. Because of a lot of snow they managed to inspect only the churches of Oshki and Ishkhani.
These unique temples are in a sad state so to save them urgent measures have to be taken. Among other experts David Khoshtaria, the head of the department of ancient Georgian art of the Chubinashvili Centre, took part in the expedition.
