Note: Geographically Georgia is in Asia, except for (Tusheti, Khevi and Khevsureti) so I think it appropriate to include it within the Asia topic.
This topic would be about centenarians and supercentenarians claims from the Caucasian country of Georgia.

@ale76 Hi, thanks for the welcome. By the way, I was born in Georgia, and I’ve lived in Spain since I was a child, but now I live in Canada.

The State Department of Veterans Affairs has reported on May 9 that the oldest World War II veteran in the country is Mariam Bezhashvili, a resident of Tbilisi (b. 21 August 1922). Link
This means that Ioseb Tukhashvili (the oldest known living man in Georgia) is probably no longer alive.
Although there is also the possibility that he was mistakenly omitted, since Davit Kacharava (b. July 21, 1922) is a month older than Mariam but for some reason was not reported as the oldest veteran. Davit Kacharava was reported alive on 9 May 2026. Link
