No
no
They self-idnetify as Turks now
what's the point of more new irrelevant shitholes
This desu
first problem is that their numbers are really low. and the second one is that they probably kill you themselves, they are literally turkish nationalists right now.
t. hindu nationalist
They are Greeks. Sneaky Walloon subhuman pretending to be Flandrian.
why
not everyone, they self identify only as Turkish citizens
ree, Trebizond is Laz stronghold
sad. I am Laz myself. you just need to elect nationalistic government and persecute minorities. please do it and remove erdogan.
They might be, genetically, however they self-identify as Turks these days
You already borrowed Rize from the Greeks. You want Trebizond too?
Lazs are Kartvelian actually. Pontic Greeks are race mixed Lazs and Greeks.
we like Laz people desu. one of the few minorities that we actually like, so i don't really see any problem them identifying themselves as turkish. you should be happy for them teebeeeych.
Sure, but they are assimilating into Turkish society. That's unacceptable.
I was in Rize and they seemed extremely Turkish to me, more so than "Turkish citizens" in other Turkish cities I've visited
Anyways, now Turkey is going to be more authoritarian and therefore all these Laz nationalist movements (if there are any) have even less chances to succeed
Lazs in Rize (town) are assimilated already. assimilated Lazs hate Lazian speaking Lazs more than anyone else
so, what place is considered to be a stronghold of Laz identity now?
Laz speaking Lazians live between Pazar and Sarp.
Hopa is considered as center of Lazs in nowaydas, however it has huge Armenian influx now. Armenian newcomers are competing with locals and organizing lots of cultural festivals etc. they have some kind of rivalry.
resettlement of Armenians only favours to Turks, who are trying to split small piece of Laz enclave to finally assimilate them
are the no ethnic georgian on this board?
I am technically Georgian, even though I got Laz/Megrelian origins
this is probably sole new piece of information I've learned today on Jow Forums
Going to add it to my list of interesting facts, thanks
You are welcome.
You must visit Rize again, but only as a Laz missionary.
Many Lazs have opened businesses in Batumi, somehow Lazs managed to get rich in Turkey, thanks to Erdogan, who is also considered to be Laz or Georgian in Turkey.
The sad fact is that, Lazs are introducing themselves as a Turks in Georgia. They use Turkish for communication.
Fun fact: Batumi is known as Laz-Vegas among Turks/Lazs since of it casinos and other attractions. It also used to be capital of Lazistan sanjak back then.
It's pretty disturbing how many roaches posting from European countries there are.
are you also the k*st poster?
yeah, I heard same about Erdogan
are there any connections between Adjarians and Laz people?
Erdogan is laz tho
