wow such a beautiful history, I probably have ancestors in common with these ancient peoples, they came to settle in the region and must have reproduced with local habitantThere are indeed quite a lot of Ethnic groups in Georgia.
Armenians,Azerbaijanis,Ossetians,Abkhazians, Russians,Ukrainians, etc... some of these ethnicities form a majority in some regions of Georgian even. (Abkhazians and Ossetians in particular broke away from us and we had a lot of wars after the collapse of USSR, and now they're separatist regions occupied by RuSSian cunts) but for the most part things are peaceful with Armenians, Azeris and the rest.
Now with regards to Adjara, history of it goes something like this.
In Antiquity Adjara was one of the pivotal areas of ancient Colchis kingdom (6th-3rd centuries BC). The Ancient Greeks established The coastal cities of Adjara - Pichvnari, Batumi, Apsaros (Honio) which played an important role in political and economic life of Colchis kingdom and later - Iberian state whose structure also included Adjara.
In the 1st century AD Christianity was introduced in Adjara. This event is connected with Simon Canonite.
In the 2nd century Adjara was a part of Lazika kingdom which was formed in the Western Georgia Romans defeated the armies of Pontus kingdom led by Mitridat VI.
In the 7th century the territory of Adjara, according to historians, was a separate administrative unit. With the creation of Tao-Klarjeti kingdom in the south of Georgia in the beginning of the 11th century Adjara was in the centre of feudal Georgia . From the second half of the 12th century to the end of the 14th century Adjara was a part Meskheti as a separate princedom. During this period Adjara was invaded by Seljuks and Mongol -Tatars.
From the mid -15th century Adjara was owned by mighty feudal Abashidze family.
From the 1570s Adjara was within the structure of Ottoman Empire and was separated from Georgia for a long time. The territory of Adjara conquered by Turks was administratively divided into Batumi and Adjara sandzhaks belonging to different areas.
The victory of Russia in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 liberated most of Adjara from Turks, but a lot of Muslim Georgians also had to leave. In 1878 by the decree of the Berlin Congress Adjara became a part of Russian Empire.
Then after Russian revolution of 1917 Adjara changed hands several times, first Ottomans occupied it, then the British, finally in 1920 it was incorporated into newly independent Georgian republic.
From 1921 Soviet union invaded Georgia and Adjara became part of the new Soviet Georgia. in which it had the status of Adjarian ASSR in the territory of Georgia. After Georgia gained its independence Adjara has been an Autonomous Republic on the territory of Georgia with special state status.
but it's sad to see the division in country with abkhaze and independantistThere are indeed quite a lot of Ethnic groups in Georgia.
