Do you consider this place to be a culturally cohesive region? That the people inside are more similar to each other than other peoples outside of it?
That place is anything but cohesive. If anything, probably the most chronically diverse area in Eurasia.
>>221352789not at all. Azeris are turks we had minimal contact with northerners due to the mountain range. that leaves only Armenians who also didn't have a state on our border before 1918 for a milenia. probably if i had to choose Armenians/Ossetians are the most similar but still not close
>>221354094How similar are northeast Caucasians like Dagestanis and Chechens to northwest Caucasians like Circassians/Abkhazians and those two small Turkic groups in Karachay-Balkaria?
>>221354094What are the big differences between Georgians and Armenians? Sorry if that's a retarded question, I don't really know how to make it less retarded, but I still want to know.
>>221354394Different religion branch, alphabet people are from an unrelated ethnic group. Armenia is first and foremost an east anatolian civilization their core moving to caucasus only happened after they were genocided by the turks. >>221354359No clue really, north caucasus is a fog for me right now especially as its under Russia its very hard to determine what relationships they truly have with each other. The only thing i remember is that Ingushs hate Ossetians and have a border conflict with them. Circassians were genocided a long time ago so there isn't much left of them.
>>221355198Talking about Abkhazians they are not similar to chechens as they are not muslims and thats like a core part of being a chechen or a dagestani. Abkhazians remind me more of ossetians or Georgians. Genetically speaking they are a mix of apsua which are basically a circassian subgroup and migrelians which is a Georgian subgroup.
>>221352789Honestly noI feel azeris are closer to other turks
>>221355198>>221355295Redpill me on Georgians. Who the hell even are you guys, where did you come from, and why are you different from everybody else?
>>2213551981- Armenians weren't in Anatolia before us.2- They didn't get genocided they got >>exiled<< to several places like Levant, Iran, modern day Armenia or some fled to US/Europe.
>>221355670very roachy reply
>>221355198Do all people in the Caucasus region perform that meme dance that Chechens and Dagestanis have? Or is that exclusive to them?>>221355295Akcshually wiki says majority of Abkhazians are Muslim if you take into account the diaspora in Turkey.
give armenians their mountain back
>>221355471what if ukraine just let russia take bits of their country without fighting back? thats georgia.
>>221356208
>>221352789Well yes, we all hate gay people and LGBTQ. But other than that we’re not really similar. We also hate Europeans for trying to get us into globohomo wars just because they’re losing the Ukraine war.But anyyyyyhow leaving the small stuff aside we’re pretty different although recently our interests have aligned in terms of keeping the peace in the region while the world is going to shit.
>>221357804>>221354359
>>221354094>Armenians who also didn't have a state on our border before 1918 for a milenia.Where were they?
>>221358181Dagestanis themselves are split into who knows how many tribes and speak like 30 languages so they’re not even similar to themselves never mind the others. Abkhazians consist of 50% megrels with megrel surnames who claim they’re Abkhaz when they have a megrel surname but speak Russian(lol),‘Abkhazians’ also consist of Armenians who are often forced to have a conflict with the local other ‘Abkhazians’ (standard kgb stuff to easily control them) etc etc. They’re kinda screwed if they want to keep their traditions and customs etc and they’re only now realizing that btw. Oh and you mentioned Muslim ones in Turkey right? kek they sure are keeping it there.But anyhow you can find all of that by just asking ChatGPT or something.
>>221358572Everything looks confusingGeorgia should simply annex everything in the Caucasus and forced everyone to speak your language.
>>221358633Well you know before the kingdom of Georgia fractured the northern Caucasians were in fact speaking Georgian as in they knew the language and we had a very close relationship.It’s only after we massively declined and then got obliterated to smithereens(thanks Timur), that the northerners were truly cut off from us completely. Although nowadays we’re all about that love and peace and prosperity so we’ll see how things develop.
>>221358572>and speak like 30 languages so they’re not even similar to themselvesThey're all part of the same language family besides Kumyks and have the same religion.>‘Abkhazians’ also consist of Armenians who are often forced to have a conflict with the local other ‘Abkhazians’ What?>>221358788What did Christianization of northern Caucasians stop?
>>221352789To my knowledge, Azeris are more like Iranians than the rest. After all, most Azeris ARE Iranians, the Republic of Azerbaijan is just the territory that the Russians took from Iran.I think Armenians are more like Turks and Kurds than Georgians. And I think Georgians are more isolated, and I don't know anything about all the Muslims in the north of the mountain range.From what I understand, Caucasians all have things in common, but it isn't due to anything uniquely Caucasian, and they all share a lot with Turks and Persians. That being said though none of them are European and they're not even close to being similar to the Russians.
>>221358844>What did Christianization*Why
>>221358844Because our influence declined massively. Oh and the fact that the Byzantines were retarded and got exterminated didn’t help either so we had a new Turkish neighbor the otties so basically we were stuck between Turks and Persians. Obviously the northerners got under their influence. Also the Russians didn’t help that either with their invasions and their defensive wars they got even more Muslim and that was that.Btw you should look shit up, if you are truly interested in this stuff.
>>221359098>bviously the northerners got under their influence.Were they introduced to to Islam by Ottomans or Iranians, though? Iranians had control of Derbent and claimed control over Dagestan. I don't think Ottomans ever controlled anything in the northern Caucasus. >picDid those Armenians arrive after Russian colonization?
>>221359265Eh not gonna have a history lesson here panchito de mierda bro. Look it up yourself.
>>221359392Okay churka
>>221355670this is so retarded it's not even funny
>>221359392worst poster on int award
>>221360464You should stop thinking of this place as some kind of sophisticated environment where you’re conversing with fellow liberal intellectuals newfriend
>>221360508stop being rude to other people
>>221360570Make me
two 4chan posters in all of georgia and now they fight each other
>>221360645>little banter is now fighting Sasuga American sissy. Also there are a bunch of Georgians here, I’m of course the best poster among them but there are quite a few.
>>221355670>1- Armenians weren't in Anatolia before us.Turkish education system must be crazy
