 Kura-Araxes culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In certain theories for locating the Urheimat (homeland) of the Proto-Indo-European language, this culture (and perhaps that of the Maykop culture) is identified with the speakers of the Anatolian languages, and even as an earlier Urheimat.
Scholars Tamaz Gamkrelidze and Vyacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov attempt to place this Urheimat in Armenia.
Lord Renfrew's hypothesis of an Anatolian homeland has less support, but the idea of locating the Anatolian-speakers in the Caucasus, with the remainder of the Indo-European stock having descended into the Ponto-Caspian steppe to a secondary Urheimat sometime before 4000 BC is not without supporters.

 Indo-European languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamaz Gamkrelidze and Vyacheslav V. Ivanov in 1984 placed the Indo-European homeland on Lake Urmia
They suggested that Armenian stayed in the Indo-European cradle while other Indo-European languages left the homeland and migrated on a route that led them along the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea to the steppe north of the Black Sea.
Gamkrelidze and Ivanov also originated the Glottalic theory.

 Georgia Today on the Web
It undermines national self-being, security and the opportunity for prosperous future of the country that is based on achieved status.
As President of Academy of Sciences of Georgia Dr. Tamaz Gamkrelidze pointed out: “Three things are essential to the country’s security: national culture, science and education.”
Although certain hope and prospect appeared since the “Velvet and Rosy” Revolution of November 2003, the situation in Georgian higher education institutions is still bad from the perspective of endemic corruption.

 [No title]
Origins of the Indo-European language is a tricky problem; Russian scholars Viacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov and Tamaz Valerianovich Gamkrelidze think the Indo-European language formed in Turkey.
Colin Renfrew, a Cambridge University scholar, also argues for Turkey as the homeland of the Indo-European in the eighth millennium BC and links its spread with the diffusion of agriculture.
Russian scholars Viacheslav Vsevolodovich Ivanov and Tamaz Valerianovich Gamkrelidze  hypothesize that the Indo-European language formed in Turkey.

 How Is Urartu The First Armenian Kingdom? - HyeForum
Ivanov stopped working with Gamkrelidze precisely on this point, becuase the latter was biased and wishful in his approach on that one point, despite his brilliance as a linguist.
The pair are Vyacheslav Ivanov and Tamaz Gamkrelidze.
They have both been adamant and in concordance about at least one thing, that the Armenian language is much older and its origins are definitely are in Armenia proper, in the area of Van and vicinity, to be specific.

This arrest comes amid harsh debates about reforms in the Academy of Sciences proposed by the Education Ministry and opposed by a group of academics, including the President of the Academy Tamaz Gamkrelidze.
In an open letter to the Georgian President, Gamkrelidze warned recently that the Education Ministry “plans to dissolve the National Academy of Sciences under the pretext of the reforms.”
Education Minister Kakha Lomaia dismissed these allegations as groundless and said on August 9 that the reform envisages the transformation of the academy into transparent and more functional body, where “all those recently revealed shadow transactions” will be eliminated.

 Persians Are Firmly Behind Armenians! - HyeForum
That is a pattern that cannot be ignored, and it has a clearly definable history to it.
For instance, the recent collaborative team of linguists, that of Vyacheslav Ivanov and Tamaz Gamkrelidze (indeed a Georgian who is a man of integrity it seems), who published their monumental works dealing with the origins of the Indo-European languages, were only opposed (obsessively it seems) by a scholar named Diakonov.
Not surprisingly, the Russian Ivanov and the Georgian Gamkrelidze have concluded that, indeed, the origins of the Proto-Indo-European languages is not only most certainly in Armenia, but are more precisely located around the vicinity of Van.

Das im Rahmen des ARMAZI-Projekts von Zaza Kiknadze, Inga Shaduri und Nana Shengelaia unter der Leitung von Tamaz Gamkrelidze erarbeitete Lehrbuch, von dem neben der hier verfügbaren Online-Ausgabe auch eine Druckfassung erstellt wird, soll diese Lücke schließen.
The unavailabilty of teaching material which illustrates the actual state of present common linguistics and its manyfold facets (synchrony, diachrony, typology), has for long hampered the erudition of linguistic students in Georgia, with the result that the state of knowledge to be gained in Georgian universities has been much lower than in Western countries.
The present textbook that has been prepared within the ARMAZI project by Zaza Kiknadze, Inga Shaduri and Nana Shengelaia under the supervision of Thomas Gamkrelidze aims at filling this gap; along with its online version, a printed edition is being prepared.

 Morphological types
The main type of inflection and derivation in Georgian is considered to be agglutination
The co-existence of agglutination and fusion principles in Georgian morphology has been the basis of different hypotheses about Georgian as belonging to the Caucasian language family, but marked with the influence of Indo-European languages  (Ivane Javakhishvili, Arnold Chikobava)  Typological parallels betwen Kartvelian and Indo-European languages are also found (Tamaz Gamkrelidze, Givi Matchavariani).
These parallels are often explained as a result of influence.  The co-existence of agglutination and fusion may be explained by the inner nature of Georgian too (Besarion Jorbenadze).
