It is absolutely noteworthy that, throughout the centuries, Armenian historians have almost always spoken of Georgians with great admiration and awe. Without Armenian chroniclers and narrators, we would know so little about Georgian history.

One thing I admire about Armenians, and something I think Georgians should take after, is how well-organized they are in the diaspora wherever they may live. They are largely free of snobbishness, willing to work in any blue-collar profession, rarely assimilate with others…

Georgians have always fought fiercely against the greatest powers, and more often than not, they managed to resist them successfully—if it weren’t for internal betrayals. That’s why the Persians had this famous proverb. 👇🏼

@SirHumphrey1969 That’s true. Many Georgians have misconceptions about Armenians and their perception about us. More awareness is needed. We are brotherly people

When we speak of Byzantine heritage and its influence on Western civilization, we shouldn’t overlook Basil I, the founder of the Macedonian dynasty, who was of Armenian ancestry. Under the Macedonian dynasty, the Byzantine Empire experienced a remarkable revival. 🇦🇲🇬🇷
When we speak of Georgian-Armenian kinship and brotherhood, we shouldn’t forget the good we’ve done for one another. Armenians have greatly contributed to Georgian history, just as Georgians have contributed to Armenian history.
