    Culturally not very much - same pholiphony Music and dances . I don't mean Lazes. They are much influenced by Greeks. But mentally they Mingrelians and Lazes are very similar. Lazes are just mountain variation of Mingrelians.

    I think the Georgians are no closer to either the Armenians or the North Caucasians. Completely different people.

    By Greeks you likely mean the Greeks of Caucasus, what we call here "rossopontioi" these Greeks have little to do with Greeks proper and even though they emigrated to Greece in 90s they're still not more assimilated into society than Nigerians are

    So technically they don't have Greek influence

    On PCA charts I believe that Armenians group together with Georgians and Azeribaijanis I would of thought apart from the Armenoid and Mongoloid traits that those ethnic groups can have obviously.

    p.s. I voted for Armenia
    It makes me sad to think of how happy I could be singing over a cup of tea or coffee with folks like that. I love Georgians.

    My opinion changded
    Modern Chechens are much influenced by Islam. They are now like Saudi Arabia Arabians.
    Georgians of Georgia are much closer to Armenians of course. They are like Southern European peoples.
    Of course they are not identical to them but Christianity makes them closer to Europeans with local cultural originalities.
    While Muslim Caucasus is more cultural part of Muslim Near East

    I would have no problem my dear
    Georgians from Tbilisi and Turks from big Turkish cities will have much in common living half secular lives.
    Same about not deep religious Jews and Assyrians are Christians
