Better a bitter truth than a sweet lie, by David Dasania

I understand those who do not believe the scholars who write history, and are skeptical about it as a scholarly discipline, which in large measure is more anti-scholarly. This happens because if today someone wrote a story somewhere, then tomorrow he, or other people, due to various circumstances, will rewrite this history, editing its important parts. Hence, it turns out that every nation has a history proportionate to the extent of its imagination.
But the history of history is different. If the history of Georgia is cobbled together from materials belonging to the history of other peoples of the Caucasus, and Georgian scholars, without shame and conscience, falsify the history and culture of the Caucasian peoples, then the history of Abkhazia is not falsified by Abkhaz scholars but is subject to the falsifications from the Georgian side. As a result, Georgia deprives the Abkhazians of the entirety of their history, with the exception of a time-period equal to the last three hundred years, starting from the 17th century.
We are deprived of our historical homeland. We are declared aliens on our own territory. Having defined the ancestors of our people as "Apsuians", we are forbidden to consider the Apsils, a tribe sharing the same roots as the Apsuians, as our ancestors. We are ripped away from the history of the Apsars, from whose language, in accordance with the mediaeval Georgian annals, is translated the name Lasha, given to King Giorgi IV, son of Queen Tamara and the Ossetian prince David Soslan. But at the same time, none of the Georgian historians who support the anti-scholarly theory of Pavle Ingoroqva are embarrassed by the fact that the name Lasha, given to Giorgi IV at his birth in 1191 (in the 12th century), is translated from the modern Abkhaz language and means "light", "luminary" ...
In support of our words, we cite examples from the dictionary of the Abkhaz language, published in Sukhum in 2005 (compiled by Professor, Doctor of Philology, Vladimir Arushanovich Kaslandzia): ala (eye, eye), alabara (vision), alagw (eyeball), alaghyrdz (tear), alaz (bright-eyed: there is no such word in the dictionary, but it exists in the Abkhaz language, which the author of these lines has repeatedly heard from Professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Grigory Vakhaidovich Smyr), alak'ta глаз (eye socket) , alakyts'a (under the eye), alapSH (look), alakht'yra (culture, civilization: literally "opening the eye"), alaSHa (light), alaSHara (light, culture, civilization, dear, dear, shine, dawn), alaSHarbaga (luminary), alaSHarbagassa (stars: in the Abkhaz hunting language), alaSHark'y (light,bright), etc.
However, what is most disturbing, the case of complete discrepancy between the above facts and the anti-scholarly theory invented by Pavle Ingoroqva for some reason does not bother Georgian historians. In fact, the author of these lines perfectly understands what drives Georgian historians and what they fear.
Before them lies the history of Georgia, which, as a united and strong state, was created by the Abkhazians. And they also have before them the history of the Georgian Orthodox Church, which is a continuation of the Abkhazian Orthodox Church, formed, like the Abkhazian kingdom, which included the entire territory of modern Georgia, in the 8th century.
With all this history the Georgian intelligentsia had to do something urgently. And instead of (to the envy of all the peoples of the world) cementing relations with the Abkhazians, ethnically non-Georgian people but eternally fraternal, its representatives decided to go for broke. They invented a significant, proportionately overwhelming, part of their own history. Abkhazians were denied autochthonism
