Summary/Abstract: It’s known that lots of Turk tribes such as from Scythian, Huns, Sabars, Avars, Khazars, Bulgarians, Pechenegs, Oghuzs and Kipchaks came to Ahıska and its environs throughout the history. In fact, according to the records of Kartlis Çovreba, the Georgian source, it was recorded that the Kipchaks arrived in Georgia and its environs in the years before Christ. However, there is no other record to confirm this information. Kartlis Çovreba wrote that Alexander had fought a group called Buntürki and Kipchak during his campaign in Georgia. If the information of Kartlis Çovreba is true, 2300 years ago the Kipchaks were in the Caucasus and they may have come here with Scythians. In the later periods, the Turkish tribes mentioned above have been here in this geography. However, there are few traces about them.
