It seems you Dark secret have problem with name "Georgia".
Georgia is english name of Sakartvelo, as we call our country.
Megrelians, Imeretians, Svans, Adjarians etc we are all Kartveli, in English Kartveli is Georgian.

Yes we are Georgian and Colchian. We are proto original Georgians save us from Turks...

But my roots are in Turkey not in Georgia we didn't migrated from there. Northeastern Turkey is also historical lands of Laz.

They are identical with Armenians? I can't believe.

I thought I would join this thread to add some more interesting results. I have Pontic Greek ancestry from Trabzon and Giresun. I have attached the results of my maternal grandmother who is full Pontic Greek with ancestral origins from Trabzon. She was born in Greece as well as both of her parents but her grandparents migrated to Greece from Ottoman Anatolia in the early 1920s during the Greek-Turkish Exchange of Populations. What is interesting is that she too is most closely related to modern Armenia. Have a look:
