Lazuri and Georgian is not same. Lazuri and Megruli are similar.
All three and plus Svanuri are Kartvelian Group. Svans and Megrelians consider themselves as Georgians, the purest Georgians.

Then we are the purest "Georgian" too. Lazica is named after us.

I'd like to ask @user_ why Stalin banished Laz people from Georgia. Even today Laz population is actually very small in Georgia. I don't think only "Russian Empire" is responsible for this. Georgian Stalin was so friendly towards other Kartveli peoples?

Did he?
He banished turko-meskhetians, but not Laz. Any sources that Stalin banished Laz people?
He banished only proturkish nationalities. Laz in Georgia are random Georgians, just like others, and they definitely don't feel any closeness to Turks, they are not even muslims.

That's why there are few like 5000 muslim Laz in Georgia. He banished them all.

Kyrgyzstan I suppose. They may be Turkics from Batumi I am not sure. There were Turkics in Batumi? There are only Turkish sources. It says Laz were banished from Batumi with other ethnicities like Ahiska Turkics and Kurds.

Stalin actually wiped Turks of Meshket and sent them to death to Siberian coldness but didnt touch a single Muslim Batumi from what İ know. Stalin was a bit racist.

Here says Laz, Hemshinis, and Ahiska Turkics were banished. Laz were banished to Kyrgyzstan. He didn't touch Adjarians. They were muslim Georgians. Words of an Ahiska Turkic. Says they were happy in Batumi and getting along with other ethnicities.
