Original text: Trudno bowiem zaliczyć do Gruzinów z krwi i kości oficerów noszących takie np. nazwiska, jak por. Jedygarow Izrafił bek, por. Jedygarow Arcził bek, por. Melik Somchjanc czy ppor. Aleksander Głowacki — którzy w oryginalnych dokumentach wojskowych i opracowaniach byli wykazywani jako Gruzini. Drugą pod względem liczby oficerów kontraktowych grupę tworzyli Azerowie. Najstarszy wiekiem i stopniem był płk Kuli Chan Chojszi-Hussein (używający niekiedy zrusyfikowanego nazwiska Chan Chojski). Po jego odejściu ze służby w 1931 roku, przywódcą nielicznej grupy Azerów został ppłk Dżangir Kazum bek. Najdłużej z Azerów w Wojsku Polskim służył absolwent Wyższej Szkoły Wojennej z 1932 roku, ppłk Jedigar Veli bek. Małą kolonię azerską w Wojsku Polskim tworzyli ponadto: rtm.
