in 2015 the collective of authors (N. Akhalaia, T. Batsashi, G. Lortkipanidze, K. Lortkipanidze, O. Memishishi, Z. Kavtaradze) published a large digest "Laz People and Lazistan in Turkish editions".
This digest is a versatile and interesting work, but we can not touch every aspect of it. But we would like to discuss about some of the aspects that are interesting to us in the digest, which we have thought about and have done some investigations.

One of the most difficult problems in the modern Georgian state is a matter of so-called "Turkish Meskhetians". Earlier I was interested in this issue, and in August 1991, in the Adigeni region, I organized an expedition to study it. But due to the activation of these problems in the Soviet Union, we stopped working unexpectedly, but the overall picture that coincides with one another and the final conclusion from them is: "Turkish Meskhetians" can not return to Georgia and if they will return, we have to leave our homeland" - say the Meskhetian inhabitants.

Article is devoted to the relationship of the Georgian states with the Turkic neighbors in 1747-1783. After 1747, the state of Afsharoff broke up into a number of small khanates. The resumption of the relative unity of Iran by Zandami led to the fact that the Georgians took into account the interests of this dynasty, but there was no talk of vassalage. The Georgians themselves went over to expansion in relation to the Azerbaijani khanates.

Article is devoted to the approximation of the eastern border of the Abkhazian kingdom based on epigraphical sources.
In the east of the Abkhazian kingdom, throughout the length of the Shida Kartli, Imereti and Javakheti epigraphic inscriptions prove that the borders of the Abkhazian kingdom have reached these territories.
It is considered in the work that the eastern border of the Abkhazian kingdom can be determined by the three temples, - based on their history or the inscriptions that are found on their walls.
