"... the Laz are not Turks, and do not look like Turks. Caucasian faces, long noses and blue eyes. Their character is also not Turkish...".
The words "azure", "azur", "azzurro" in European languages mean a shade of blue. In Slavic languages, this same root also has the letter "l" in front - "azurny". The Poles, for example, explain it as a combination of the root "azur" with the definite article "le" - "l'azur".From hence it is easy to conclude that "лазурний" is the Kartvelian adjective "lazuri", pertaining to the Laz.
