The Meskhian ansamble "Vardzia" - "My Meskheti"
Historical Meskheti is divided between modern Turkey and Georgia.
Meskhians themsevles are in minority in modern Meskheti after Russian/Osman occupation of the region.
It was settled by two empires witi Turkish, Kurdish, Turkmen, Russian, Armenian etc population to create there ethnical diversity and assimilate local population.
In Georgian Meskheti there settled also other Kartvelian subethnoses and ethnographical groups too.
The most funny thing is that Turks and Armenian singers often sing and make clips also about Meskheti as their own lands. showing Meskhian cassltes, towers and churches and arguing that they are there aboriginal.
Though Indo-Europeans and Turkics can not be there aboriginal. Armenians migrated there only in the 19th century, Anatolian Turks in the 17-18 th centuries. but their propagandists with their clips are very funny.
