 Lazlar ne arıyor İrlandada ? 

 What are laz people doing in Ireland ?

 

Lazlar = Laz people, in the original sentence there is an extra letter "ı" which doesnt make sense ,so thats what confused you.

           Laz are an ethnic group native to the Black Sea coastal regions of Turkey and Georgia. One of the chief tribes of ancient kingdom of Colchis, the Laz were initially early adopters of Christianity, and most of them subsequently converted to Sunni Islam during Ottoman rule of Caucasus in the 16th century.

The Laz of Turkey form two principal groups. One of these is indigenous to the eastern Black Sea province formerly known as Lazistan (modern Rize and Artvin provinces). The other group fled the Russian expansion later in the 19th century and settled in Adapazarı, Sapanca, Yalova and Bursa, in western and eastern parts of the Black Sea and Marmara regions, respectively. The Laz speak the Laz language, related to Mingrelian, Georgian and Svan (Kartvelian languages).[4] Laz identity in Georgia has largely merged with a Georgian identity and the meaning of "Laz" is seen as merely a regional category,[5] and are mainly concentrated in Ajaria.

Laz were converted to Christianity while living under the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Georgia. During the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the vast majority of Laz became Sunni Muslims of Hanafi madh´hab, and were ruled as part of the Lazistan sanjak.[citation needed] There is also a very limited number of Christian Laz in Georgia who were converted to Christianity from Islam.[citation needed]
