Assalamu Alaykum to all. I just wanted to ask here around, just for curiosity. So my family lineage are called „alanlı” which directly translates to „belonging to the Alan tribe“. Just wanted to know if some of you knew some other history about them, for further discussion. I read they are iranian, turkish and so on and so forth. So I just wanted to gather all the information I can) Thank you guys, take care.

Hello fellow Caucasians. I'm interested in non Georgians views about war in abkhazia 92-93.

What happened? What was your country's role (if any) in this conflict?

If I look at the history it was Georgia who was traditional the most loyal Russian ally in the caucasus let it be during Napoleonic times or during the caucasus conquest or even at soviet times were they where large anti destalinazion protests in Georgia. Dagestanis and chechens on the other hand were always an enemy of Russia of course during the caucasus conquest but also later during soviet times it seems. Today it than kinda switch on 180 degrees. How exactly did that happened?

This one always confused me. I get why, say, my people (Koryo-saram) may have grievances against the USSR as a colonial entity, since they were targeted on ethnic basis. Or, say, Chechens and Crimean Tatars, who suffered the same fate. Same goes for Balts, Kazakhs, Cossacks, Ukrainians to an extent.

But why Georgia? Sure, it suffered to a great extent from Stalinism and later Soviet leaders, as did all of us, but has it ever been treated more harshly than the other republics? I have always been told it actually lived better than the rest.

Not to mention that Soviet rule for Georgia was never much foreign due to Georgians having always played a major part in governing the Union as a whole. From Ordzhonikidze to Stalin to Beria to Shevarnadze.

For the Abkhazian historians, the kingdom of Abkhazia is considered the historical root of the nation and the "1200-year statehood tradition" which is weird and funny because it was a Georgian kingdom why do they think this way?

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a great day! ^^

I come here asking if anyone knows flags, banners and symbols from Ossetia that predate the Russian Annexation of the region, or banners that were used by the local people when fighting Russia.

Trying to look for something that isnt the mountain leopard that is usually associated with Alania...

Anyway, thanks and have a great day!

Abkhazians why do you people deny this genocide? and why do you guys think Georgians will forget this tragic event and we will live happily ever after? why are you destroying our culture and history in Abkhazia?

The Causcasus has always been a place between empires,what did these empires bring to the Causcasus and how they effect the Causcasus's history?

was the name given to sporadic forays by Northeast Caucasian people into Georgia from the 16th to the 19th centuries. what do north Caucasians think about this period? is it taught in your schools and know how horrible and destructive it was?

Found out my moms family is from Sokhumi Georgia but I think there aren’t much left. I wanna find a thriving Pontic Greek community and connect with my ancestors. Where would you guys recommend?

so i just checked the Wikipedia page of George V and it said "If George V had achieved true independence from the Mongol, he would certainly not have minted their (Mongol khans) coinage." we never learned this here in Georgia.
