What is your voltage and frequency (cycles) in Georgia? With electronic
controls, it may be a combination of factors causing you problems.

According to http://www.powerstream.com/cv.htm, Georgia uses
220V / 50 Hz, with plugs like most of the rest of Europe. Buying stuff
from www.amazon.de or www.amazon.fr should work (so should .co.uk, but
you'd need a plug converter).
