Eyalet Chyldyr [1] ( Ottoman . ایالت ایالت چلدر; Eyālet-i Çıldır) [2] or Pashalyk Chyldyr , also known as Eylets Samtskhe , was the Eylet of the Ottoman Empire in the southwestern part of the Caucasus. At present, the territory of the former Chyldyr Eyalet is divided between the territory of Samtskhe-Javakheti and the Autonomous Republic of Adjara (subjects of Georgia ), the Turkish provinces (silts) Artvin , Ardagan and Erzurum . The administrative center of the ejalet was alternately Chyldyr (1578–1628), Akhysk (1628–1829) and Oltu (1829–1845).

History
Samtskhe was the only region of Georgia that became part of the Ottoman Empire (like Eyyal Chyldyr) [3] . After the Battle of Sohoist, the region gradually became part of the empire for another 80 years.
Akhaltsikhe was conquered by the Turks from the Principality of Guria , a vassal state of the Safavid state . In 1578 , when the eyelash was founded, the former Georgian prince, Manuchar II Dzhakeli (who took the name Mustafa after conversion to Islam) was appointed his pasha . [4] Since 1625, pashalyk became the hereditary possession of the Atabegs of Samtskhe [5] - converted to Islam princes of the Georgian clan Jakeli , who, with some reservations, ruled them until the ejalet was eliminated in 1845 [4] .
During the Russo-Turkish war (1828–1829), Russian troops seized most of the territory. Under the Adrianople Peace Treaty , most of the ejalet was transferred to Russia, including its capital, Akhyska , which became the center of the Akhaltsikhe district [3] . The capital of pashalyk was moved to Oltu . In 1829, the coastal part of pashalyk became part of the Trabzon ejalet [6] .
In 1845, Eyalet Chyldyr ceased to exist. Its remaining territories became part of the Kars ejalet .
