    Question Are Georgians culturally closer to Armenians or to North Caucasians?

    This thread is about culture. Not about genetics and anthropology.

    By "North Caucasians" are meant typical North Caucasians like Circassians, Vaynakhs, Dagestanians and Ossetians too.

    Please vote only if you have an idea on the subject.

    Culture is largely determined by religion. For this reason, they are closer to the Armenians.

    Do you know all these peoples well enough to draw this conclusion?

    I don't deny the importance of religion but it's limited too. I don't think that for example Orthodox Karelians are closer to Bulgarians than Muslim Pomaks are.

    P. S. Don't forget that a part of Ossetians and a small part of Circassians are Christian too.

    Georgians akin to Armenians culturally and mentally. They both are civilized compared to other Caucasians and have common history (under domination of Iranian empires and Bagratid united kingdom). Also Armenian and Georgian temples has conical roofs and their church leaders bore title of Catholicos.

    [QUOTE = Rumata; 6400477] Знаете ли всички тези хора достатъчно добре, за да направите това заключение?

    Не отричам значението на религията, но и тя е ограничена. Не ми се струва, че например православните карели са по-близки до българите, отколкото мюсюлманските помаци.

    PS Не забравяйте, че част от осетинците и малка част от черкезите също са християни. [/ ЦИТАТ]


    Yes, and in your words there is truth, but still all - Georgians, Armenians, Ossetians, Circassians, Azeri, Balkars, Karelians share one region - the Caucasus. For this reason, there are many similarities in cultural significance that are independent of religion - regional. But for those people who are Christian, closeness increases. Like us on the Balkans - a cultural tradition of the Balkans, with nuances according to religion. My husband is an Armenian

    Karelia is not in Caucasus and Armenia is on Lesser Caucasus separated from the Greater Caucasus. Let's not complicate the subject with Turkic peoples too.

    [QUOTE = Rumata; 6400502] Карелия не е в Кавказ, а Армения е на Малък Кавказ, отделен от Големия Кавказ. Нека не усложняваме темата и с тюркските народи.

    [/ Цитат]

    You are asking a question and I have shared my opinion. For more than a millennium, the region has been shaped by the cultural understanding of today's Caucasus. The cultures of the Turkic peoples are also intertwined to a great extent, and it is not right to divide them.
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.

    By this logic, Pakis are culturally closer to arabs than to indians.

    Very difficult question. I'm not an expert in any sense but by impression is that southern Caucasus has a sort of warmer med feel in mentality than north Caucasus. They're closer to northern Caucasus in terms of autochthonous culture; like clothing, dances, style of traditional music. But their mentality and way of life reminds me more of Armenians, maybe it's the shared religious ground.

    To Armenians obviously, since both are Christians.
