Armenians are culturally closest to which ethnicities? Poll!

[user_]

Culturally I consider Armenians in the same camp as Georgian Christians and Assyrians.

Such camp does not exist. What Georgian and Assyrians have common in culture?
Assyrian culture is Mesopotamian, Georgian culture is Caucasian.

I regard Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan as being in the South Caucasus camp. We have a lot of similarities in food, dances, music, culture in general.

Nope. Armenian culture is mesopotamian, Azerbaijanian culture is Iranian, Georgian culture is Caucasian.
We don't have similarities, especially in dance and music.
I already posted, even Macedonian dance have more similarities with Armenian, than Georgian.

Armenia and Azerbaijan share more things, despite the religion.


Georgian music


Azerbaijanian music


Armenian music



I can't see any overlapping. South Caucaus itself is artificial thing created in Russian Empire.

North Azerbaijan is Caucasian. They used to speak Lezgic before the Turkification. The Udi speaking minority still speak it. They still do the Lezginka there. North Azerbaijan's original name was [Caucasian] Albania (known locally as Aghwan) before the Russians artificially changed it to "Azerbaijan", a people they have no connection to. They don't have much of a history with Mesopotamia dating back to ancient times like Armenia does.

South Azerbaijan was originally the only Azerbaijan and South Azerbaijan was/is Iranian.
