For the issue of Autonomy of Ajara

Abstract

This article 'For the Issue of Adjara Autonomy' presents and discusses the origins of the
idea of Adjara autonomy an peripeteia of its realisation in future. This topic is permanently
discussed in Georgian historiography.Without an objective estimation of the past, the democratic
development of our statehood is unbelievable.Our efforts also serve this purpose.
On the base of used sources, we tried to present the reason for the idea of the autonomy.
What stages of development did this idea go through? We also discussed as much as possible how
this topic is covered in Georgia historiography. We tried to seperate and cover the different views
of Memed and Haidar Abashidze about the autonomy.
We also showed the role and attitude of Turkey and Bolshevik Soviet Russia towards this topic.
