HerenIstarion is Asian, too.
He even is from the only Asian country which starts with a 'G' (something which caused me to rofl when someone on a TV quiz show, being asked the question which Asian country alone starts with a g, said, after some pondering, 'China!') <hr></blockquote>

I am not certain we may put it so strictly. Georgia lies indeed between Asia and Europe. little bit to the Norht is Russia's European part, little bit to the South Turkey - Asia Minor. Culturally and spiritually we may be linked more with the Eastern orthodox Christian states such as was Bizantium and now is Russia, historically with the Middle East as a whole, with Sasanide Persia and Arab Caliphate etc. But if you ask any given georgian in the street does he think himself asian or european, answer would certainly be the latter.
