Özet:

One of the most important issues in the countries that have gained independence in the modern period is the successful implementation of the process of national state building. The implementation of this process directly depends on several elements. One of them is the element of religious identity, which is an important part of the national identity of citizens. The policy of religion and national (ethnic) minorities implemented by the states is of great importance in terms of the successful continuation of national state building. In Georgia, where various national, religious and ethnic groups live, this policy has its own problems. The implementation of the national policy on minorities within the framework of the general principles of human rights, democracy and international law is important in terms of eliminating these problems. The successful solution to the problems of Muslim minorities living in Georgia, consisting of Borchali Turks, Ajars, Akhisga Turks and Cysts, depends on the nature of Islamic policy in the country. The sociological survey conducted several times since 2011 and the results obtained have been very useful in terms of the preparation of this article. As well as a large number of researchers in 2015-2016, surveys, observations and indepth interviews, as well as scientific research in Turkey have allowed to successfully complete this article. The article draws attention to the role of trilateral cooperation in solving existing problems using the results obtained during the sociological surveys and research mentioned above, as well as the materials in official sources related to the region.
