Palakatsio
Palakatsio (Georgian: პალაკაციო) is a historical region located in the southern part of historical Georgia, within the borders of present-day Turkey. Lake Çıldır was also formerly known as Lake Palakatsio.[1] The Palakatsio region encompassed the area surrounding Lake Çıldır, approximately the area of today's Çıldır District.[2]
In the late 12th century, Palakatsio formed a fringe of the Javakheti principality. Later, it was part of the Samtskhe-Saatabago. In 1578, the Ottomans captured the region and established the Childir Liva (Liva-i Çıldır), part of the Georgian Vilayet (Vilayet-i Gürcistan), on this land.[3]
