Travel to Georgia: Tbilisi, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea The Arab emirate of Tbilisi lasted until David the Builder reconquered the city in 1122 and the emir's palace was within the fortifications of the Narikala. When David the builder drove the Arabs out of Tbilisi in 1122, he moved the royal residence from the are enclosed by the walls of Narikala fortress to this plateau on the left bank of the Mtkvari. The foundations of the towers and the walls of both the upper and lower fortresses that we see today, however, stem from the work of the Arab lords of Tbilisi in the eighth century. www.redstarintl.com /city15.htm

ABKHAZIA.ORG - Georgia: Contemporary Life and Politics The Arabs appeared in the mid 7th century, establishing an emirate in Tbilisi to rule E. Georgia; this lasted until 1122. Its 3 sisters are Svan, spoken in the NW province of Svaneti(a), Mingrelian, spoken in the W Georgian lowlands, and Laz, spoken almost exclusively along Turkey's Black Sea littoral from the Georgian border to Rize -- there are few Laz in Georgia but quite a few Georgians (= Imerxevian Georgians) in Turkey. The question of Mingrelian identity remains extremely sensitive; matters concerned with Georgian attitudes to Mingrelian language and separateness are addressed in my article 'Yet a third consideration of Völker, Sprachen und Kulturen des su/dlichen Kaukasus' in Central Asian Survey 14, 2, 285-310. www.abkhazia.org /georgia.html   (1791 words)

Paradox Interactive Forums - 1066 Caucasus I've also made Tbilisi into an Arab emirate which is also correct. I've drawn out family trees so I'm going to keep track of characters that I've taken out just in case they turn out to be important in the end. Remember to delete David, son of Bagrat since he wasn't born till 1071 (I think off the top of my head)...a shame really since he was to be basically the greatest Georgian king. www.europa-universalis.com /forum/showthread.php?t=153481&page=2   (254 words)
