The article analyses a rather vapid contribution dedicated to the shaping of the Georgian identity.

Such flaws are to be identified in the author's lack of knowledge of the Georgian language, which leads to serious misinterpretations as well as to a significant number of factual errors. The consequence of such ignorance, even though more reasons could be added, is that the author has access to very limited and partial sources.

Abstract

The article analyses a rather vapid contribution dedicated to the shaping of the Georgian identity. Actually, this analysis reveals the faulty methodology of the contribution which invalidates its outcome. Such flaws are to be identified in the author's lack of knowledge of the Georgian language, which leads to serious misinterpretations as well as to a significant number of factual errors. The consequence of such ignorance, even though more reasons could be added, is that the author has access to very limited and partial sources. To be more specific, it is obvious that she draws on only one sources and the data that it offers is considered in a distorted manner, or, in the best of cases, referred to in an equivocal manner. Without wishing to engage in controversy, the present article dissects these elements, deeming them so serious that they may harm the reader's comprehension of the subject.
