I don’t think that Georgians are closer to the North Caucasus than to Armenia. The original Georgians are equally far from both Armenia and the North Caucasus. I don’t see any resemblance to either one or the other at all. And I don’t think that Christianity makes Armenians and Georgians close to each other. If yes, then what exactly are our similarities and similarities?
1) Mentality? It is worth visiting the regions of Georgia (West of Georgia, the mountains of the northeast or even the villages of Kakheti), where Georgians have always lived mono-ethnically, people there are very different from the Armenians. I remember one traveler, when describing the ethnopsychology of the region, wrote that Western Georgians, living monoethnically and far from the Armenians, are very different from the southern ones from Tbilisi, living side by side with them.
Comparison of Western Georgians (real Georgians) with South-Eastern ones living together with Armenians.
“The Imeretians, Mingrelians and Gurians of the Kutaisi province, who are close to Georgians by blood, have a lot in common with them in their historical past and temperament. In expressing their pleasure, delight and cheerful mood of spirit, they are generally more restrained, not so submissive to fate, not so carefree and kind.”
(Sources: Doctor of Medicine E.V. Erickson. “News of Psychology, Criminal Anthropology and Hypnotism.” 1906.)
2) Folklore, style and motives of old songs and dances? Absolutely different and not similar. The original Georgian dances and song motifs are generally different, different from the Armenian ones.
3) The style of old folk clothes that people wore before? Again, completely different. The same dissimilarity is with the northern Caucasus. The only similarity can be found with the Abkhazians, and only because the territory was originally Georgian and 2/3 of modern Abkhazians are assimilated Georgians.
