The historic boundary of Europe was set at the river Don by Strabo and remained such until Russia decided to expand the border of Europe on the map in the 18th -
19th century to make themselves feel more European, before Russia conquered Caucasia nobody would even pretend Georgia is in Europe. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=Map...1t:429,r:1,s:0 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=Map...1t:429,r:2,s:0 http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=Map...1t:429,r:0,s:0 http://www.miklianmaps.com/smith-map...835-p-836.html Caucasian in Russia behaving in a civlized manner. Armenian Music - Reminds me of my visit to Beirut. not European, that's for sure. Armenian Nazi White supremacists ( I think they are somewhat confused as the nazis over on stormfront don't consider you white) LMAO !!! http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=arm...1t:429,r:7,s:0 It's not about skin colour, there are many de-pigmented Caucasians but my point is they are undeniably in Asia yet pretend to be in Europe, they have culturally allot more in common with eastern Turkey and North Western Iran than with Poland or France or Hungary. |

It is usually the Armenians and in particular the Georgians that say they are European.
This is not a troll thread I want to have honest debate and get some Caucasians to comment. And so what if they are christians so are Lebanese maronites ,are they European? It just means you believe in the teachings of a Jewish guy son Mary a Jewish lady. The Christian creatian myth is the Jewish one Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. Christians pray for the Jews and pray for god to bring victory to the House of Israel. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...35&version=KJV 12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. beautiful Serbian Pslam 135 19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: Christianity aside this, is about Caucasia and how Russian makers decision to shift the boundary on purpose in the 19th century so that more of Russia as a whole would seem European and how it has had a knock on effect on Caucasia after Caucasia was conquered a region that was historically never considered part of Europe and even today the UN does not consider Armenia/Georgia/Azerbajan European, they cling on to the Russian link to Europe in their minds yet on the ground they are most certainly not. |

Some Georgians say they re European due to the fact that out of dual choice between Europe and Middle East they prefer first one which is kind of closer culturally than a stereotypically Middle Eastern country. A lot of Georgians identify as Caucasians. Some view themselves as Orthodox/Byzantine.
Azeris don't really see themselves as European. |

Politically South Caucasus is considered part of Europe. Armenia and Georgia are even considered eligible countries for EU membership. That being said, as I've said before, Armenians identify themselves as just Armenians not grouping with any larger group. Azeris to my knowledge identify themselves more with Turkic identity, Georgians more with Caucasian identity.

Not about skin colour or where they could pass in the street, in Russia they are known as 'Blacks' or Chonayie/Чернажопые/Chernazhopye because they have (relatively) dark skin. genetically they have more in common with Eastern Turkey/ North Western Iran, even northern Syria/Iraqi Kurdistan than eastern Europe. A Georgian has more in common ( historically )with someone from Trebzon,Turkey than with someone from Paris An Armenian is more in common with Christian Assyrians/Kurds/ Christian Lebanese and Iranians than he does with Austrians. please don't bombard this thread with pics of de-pigmented Caucasians, this is not who is white or who isn't. Is Assad a European? I'm sure he could pass as greek. This about why they pretend to be something they're not and prentend as if they have nothing in common with their neighbours ( i.e Georgia having nothing to due with Turkey) they musically, culturally, genetically and geographically have had more in common with historically. |
