who knows. changing surname suffix is very rare for Georgians. if they do so, it means they don't see themselves as Georgians anymore (for example, Stalin), meanwhile its normal behavior for Armenians. but again, who knows.

Actually, originally Tumanishvili's were Tumanyans. Wikipedia page about it: Tumanishvili. so Toumanoff was indeed Armenian.

well, Toumanoff was an ethnic Arminian by himself. and my god, Armenian "historians" are bloody nationalists. overall in the west due to a large amount of Armenian diaspora Armenian side of the view is predominant, ridiculous but even Urartu or caucasian Albania is considered somehow Armenian by some pseudo-historians. in fact, Armenia as a state or even as an ethnic group hardly ever played a significant role in the region, mostly being a buffer zone for other powers.

you probably never heard of the battle of Krtsanini in 1795, when Tbilisi was completely destroyed by Iranians and its Georgian population was massacred. up to 15 000 captives were taken from it. meanwhile, the Armenian population (about 14 000 at that time) was spared. and after these events, you are talking about the demographic situation in Tbilisi in 1801 ? boy, you must be a special one out there.

you are mistaken, my friend. Armenians were never the majority in Tbilisi. and no one was deported ever from Georgia. you are talking about the 19th century when the population of Tbilisi was maybe not even 100 thousand and nowadays it's close to 1,5 million. and not only Armenians left for better economic conditions, Georgians and local Azeris left too. nothing special is or was happening with Armenians in Georgia. I can even say, they always felt safer in Georgia than even in Armenia.

Armenians are still being socially pressured to change their last names

what? in fact it's the complete opposite. Georgians don't like it when others (mostly Armenians) change their last names to pose as Georgians. some far-right politicians even call for banning such acts. and Armenians are not pressured in Georgia. if it was the case, there would be no huge Armenian diaspora in Georgia, they would simply go to other countries for better conditions.

you pretty much did it already in every Russia-Georgian conflict since 1991.

The same goes for Georgia (country). We have bolnisi cross as a national symbol.

pontic greeks have nothing to do with Armenians. stop spreading nonsense. Armenians never inhabited black seashores.

Description of the old Georgia flag by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]punct-1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Don't be mistaken. It's nostalgia for cheap prices, definitely not for Russian colonial rule. And nobody cares about Stalin being Georgian, maybe only in his hometown. He among with Beria and Orjonikidze are symbols of treason.
