Don't tell the Georgians you said their country was in Asia, you might
get in trouble! They certainly consider themselves Europeans, in line
with their culture and religion. As for the geography, atlases differ.
The following is from a 1937 novel "Ali and Nino" about the region, the
setting of this introduction is actually about 1905: "Some scholars look
on the area south of the Caucasian mountains as belonging to Asia, while
others, in view of Transcaucasia's cultural evolution, believe that this
country should be considered part of Europe." The question is still an
open one.
