kilometres (31 mi) south of the capital Tbilisi. It is situated along the left bank of the Debeda river. Sadakhlo is the largest village in Georgia, and is the center of the eponymous administrative community (თემი, temi) that includes four other nearby villages: Burma, Tazakendi, Molaoghli, and Khuldara.
The Sadakhlo market played a remarkable role in the interaction between Karapapakhs and Armenians, in light of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Sadakhlo is almost entirely populated with Karapapakhs, and is an important border town with Armenia. Since Georgia took a neutral stance in the conflict, the village became a neutral territory where both peoples could freely and safely interact with each other.
Six kilometers west of Sadakhlo, in the village of Tsopi along the national route Sh37 to Akhkerpi, the ruins of the medieval Tsopi fortress are located. This castle dates from the 5th-6th century.
