It is spoken only in the Ahiska regions in Turkey (Ardahan/Rize) and in all places in where Ahiska Turks are (Kazakhstan/Russia/Ukraine)
It is basically Turkish with more Georgian/Russian words also there are some little mixes with Azeri Turkish

How they got deported and how he went from Uzbekistan to Azerbaijan and finally back to Turkey
And you are basically right Ahiska are Turkish Highlanders

I dont want to insult you (if you really mean it) but Turkish is related to Mongolian and Tungusic languages which means in its core Turkish is a north asian language

I'm aware that Turkic languages are their own thing; that does not change what it sounds like to my primarily English-speaking ears.

most Turks have difficulties to understand it

I don't see why any native Turkish-speaker would have difficulty understanding it.
