If by "white" you mean Caucasoid, then Armenians, like most West Asians, are whiter. If by "white" only the skin tone is implied, then Volga and Crimean Tatars win.
I'm just coming back from a journey through Transcaucasus, and I looked attentively at people. Armenians look more MENA than Europeans, although few of them would be unnoticed in Europe. There are even red-haired and blonde Armenians, albeit with a distinctive "Armenian face". Georgians look more European and many of them would pass anywhere in southern Europe, including France.
As a matter of fact, one of my friends in France is of Georgian origin. Her parents fled the Soviet regime and I would never have guessed she was Georgian if I didn't get to know her surname.
Armenia is a transitional area between Europe and the MENA world. The high Caucasus ranges are replaced by an arid MENA landscape made of dry steppe, semi-desert, shrubland. In Georgia, all along the Black Sea coast, the climate is humid subtropical and the vegetation lush and green, reminiscent of the evergreen forests in New Zealand.
In Armenia, Azerbaijan and southern Georgia, the typical Eurasian fauna: brown bear, grey wolf, golden jackal, Eurasian otter, Eurasian lynx etc...meets pure West Asian animals: leopards, jungle cats, striped hyenas, Persian and goitered gazelles, rock agamas...

Georgian coastline climate is more like north Spain Atlantic coast. Landscape was changed during soviet union, when Georgian coast was Soviet union's riviera, by planting millions of palm and citrus trees. Other parts of Georgia are covered by temperate forests and pine forests in the mountains. 45% of Georgian territory is forested.
Armenia and Azerbaijan are arid, with very few forests, mountain steppes in Armenia and semi deserts in Azerbaijan. Extremely different landscapes in this three countries.
