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.

Haha, Laz are Turk, but Megrelians are not Georgian, funny.
I'm half Megreli from mother side, and never ever heard from my Megrelian relatives, that they are not Georgian, this is nonsense.
Kartveli means Georgian.

I didn't say Laz are Turk or something. As a nation we are Turkish like megrelians are georgians there yes but I am talking about something different here.

I don't have a problem with Georgia or Georgians I am telling you the truth you couldn't convince me. We have Georgian ethnicity in Turkey also. They don't call themselves Laz or us Georgians. Because we are different. Georgian is like a nation meaning someone from Georgia in English yes. But as race Gürcü,kartuli different from Laz or megreli.

[DarkSecret]

What do you call Georgian only speakers?

[DarkSecret]

We are under the different sub group of language.
