Abstract

In the period between the First and Second World Wars, the outflow of intellectual resources from Georgia abroad was mainly due to the Bolshevik coup and the Soviet annexation. Among the emigrants was the great Georgian scientist, Patriarch of Urartology Mikhako Tsereteli. Demonstrating his contribution to science and his merits in translation is the main task of our research. The methodological basis of the research is the universal scientific principles of objectivity, comprehensiveness and systematics, historical-comparative and historical-typological methods. From the factual materials presented in the article, it is clear that M. Tsereteli made a contribution to the development of domestic and world science, translation activities. Thanks to his work, M. Tsereteli made a great contribution to the processes of mutual enrichment of culture and knowledge, acquaintance with intellectual tendencies, and raising awareness about Georgia. It was he who deciphered the Assyrian-Urartian bilingualism of Kelashin and laid the foundation for the formation of “Urartology” as a new scientific direction.
