Marneuli is a city in the Kvemo Kartli region of southern Georgia, the administrative center of Marneuli Municipality, which borders Armenia and Azerbaijan. The majority of the population in Marneuli are Azerbaijanis. In the region, Azerbaijanis are mainly engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding. Every Sunday, early in the morning, an animal market is held in the fields and slopes a few kilometers from Marneuli, selling horses, sheep and cows. This day I was at the animal market for the first time. It was a cold, rainy, cloudy weather in February.
