Georgians in Iran
Georgia, or "Gorjestan" was a Persian province or client state during Sassanid times (particularly starting with Hormozd IV). During the Safavid era, Georgia became so politically and somewhat culturally intertwined with Iran that Georgians almost replaced the Qezelbash among the Safavid officials.
