Akhalgori (Georgian: ახალგორი, Ossetian: Ленингор, romanized: Leningor) is a town in Georgia[1] (in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, according to the official administrative division of Georgia). The name Akhalgori is the original historical name of the town used by the Georgians and officials, whereas Leningor is the name given to the city in the Soviet era and used by the South Ossetians. The town is situated on the banks of the River Ksani, height above sea level — 800 m.
- ^ a b South Ossetia's status is disputed. It considers itself to be an independent state, but this is recognised by only a few other countries. The Georgian government and most of the world's other states consider South Ossetia de jure a part of Georgia's territory.
