At least 400,000 Meskhetian Turks now live outside of Georgia, although it has been unclear how many would return in a process that should have officially ended last year, but which might be extended.
Pel cap baix, quatre-cents mil turcs de Meskheti viuen actualment fora de Geòrgia, per bé que no se sap del cert quants hi tornarien en un procés que hauria d'haver finalitzat oficialment l'any 2011, però que podria allargar-se.
