Romani people in Georgia (country) explained

604 Roma officially live in Georgia.[1]

Many Georgian Roma live in Tbilisi.[2] [3]

A large influx of Romani people into the country happened in the 1930s due to the Great Famine that happened from 1932-1933 in parts of Ukraine and Moldova.[4] [5]

There is also a Lom community in Georgia.
