Aslan-Beg and his elder brother Memed-Beg were involved in the revolutionary turmoil that stuck at the Russian Empire in 1905. Aslan-Beg commanded one of the armed detachments of revolutionaries and left for the Ottoman Empire after the failure of the uprising in 1907. He received military training at Constantinople and returned to Georgia after the ouster of the Russian monarchy in the 1917 revolution. During this period of turmoil, Abashidze fought for the integration of Adjara into a newly independent Georgia and formed a legion of Muslim Georgians, which fought against the Armenian forces in December 1918. He is credited with having written a military song "Aslanuri", popular at that time. He was awarded the rank of general and continued his service in the Georgian ranks until the overthrow of the Georgian republic by the Soviet Russian Red Army in February–March 1921. Abashidze fled to Turkey, where he died (allegedly poisoned to death) in Constantinople in 1924.
