![[Flag of Ajaria 1978-1992]](../images/s/su-gead1.gif)
The Ajarian ASSR was created in 1921, largely for political
reasons. Firstly, it prevented the Georgians from exercising
full control over the port of Batumi, and served to encourage
supposedly pro-communist elements amongst Ajaris (or Lazis)
living on the Turkish side of the border.
Stuart Notholt
Russia occuped Batum 18 March 1921 and the 16 Juny 1921
was created the ASSR into the Georgia SS Republic. Flag own
not was adopted since 1937.

The flag is red with incriptions in Georgian (Sakarthvelos
SSR, two lines), in laze or adjar (theerd line) and russian
(fourth line). This flag was used (except for little changes
in the transcription of the georgian alphabet) since 1950, when
the flags of the autonomus republics of Georgia losed the right
to a flag own. In 1978 a flag was restablizhed.
