my cheesy-ass dictionary doesn't think so. i think it would have to be "someone from the Caucasus region". either that, or refer to them specifically by their nationality, which, in the case of Georgians, would still be ambiguous to an American. :)

indeed!

on second thought, that word might be relevant in russia only, and then only in some parts of russia
