who are Georgians
Georgians are not Russians, Turks or Persians, nor do they have any ethnic connection with other people. Georgian language (Kartuli) is in its own language group, completely unrelated to Indo-European, Semitic or other languages. Georgians have been embroiled in struggles against the world's biggest empires (Roman, Arab, Mongol, Persian, Ottoman, Russian, etc) for centuries. This little country was invaded many times and destroyed as many. However, Georgians have managed to preserve their cultural and traditional identity for thousands of years. The countryside is covered with ancient towered fortifications, many of which house ancient churches (including one of the oldest in Christendom) and monasteries.
