Armenia–Georgia relations

Foreign relations exist between Armenia and Georgia. Both countries were former Soviet republics of the Soviet Union. Relations between the two were originally tense for a while after their independence, which included multiple occurrences of voting against each other at the United Nations. However in recent years, relations between the two have vastly improved and modern relations are now seen as friendly. Both countries are members of the Council of Europe, the European Political Community, and the EU's Eastern Partnership and Euronest Parliamentary Assembly.

Georgia is a member of GUAM, which leaves Armenia out of regional transportation and energy projects.

Relations with Georgia are of particular importance for Armenia because under the border blockades imposed against Armenia by Turkey and Azerbaijan due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Georgia offers Armenia its only land connection with Europe, with access to its Black Sea ports. However, because of Armenia's reliance on Russia and Georgia, both of which fought in the 2008 South Ossetia War and thus severed diplomatic and economic relations, 70% of Armenia's imports entered via Georgia, especially from Russia, which has imposed an economic blockade on Georgia.

The Javakheti Region in southern Georgia contains a large Armenian population and although there have been local civic organizations, such as United Javakhk, pushing for autonomy, there has been no violence between Armenians and Georgians in the area since the Georgian–Armenian War ended in 1919. Since independence, Georgian clergy have occupied the Armenian churches, and Armenians in Georgia and Armenia have demonstrated against the destruction. On November 28, 2008, Armenian demonstrators in front of the Georgian embassy in Armenia demanded that the Georgian government immediately cease encroachments on the Armenian churches and punish those guilty, calling the Georgian party's actions White Genocide.

Some Armenians believe they are victims of a policy to shift the Samtskhe-Javakheti region's demographic balance since a number of Georgian families were settled there. Armenians are also underrepresented in the government, which leads to the perception of discrimination and mutual distrust. There were several protests, some of them turning violent after clashes with law enforcement agents.

Georgia also supported Azerbaijan against Armenia in United Nations General Assembly Resolution 62/243, and Armenia has voted against several United Nations resolutions on Abkhazia that reiterate the right of return of all displaced persons and refugees to Georgia's breakaway regions. Despite the stated differences and conflicting interests, bilateral relations between both countries are stable and developing.

In 2019, for the first time, Armenia broke with Russia on a vote about the right of Georgians to return to their homes in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. During a UN resolution held on 4 June, Armenia did not vote against Georgia in regards to the return of displaced people. The move was hailed as a sign of Armenia's attempt to strengthen relations with Georgia. In June 2024, Armenia again supported Georgia by voting in favour of a UN resolution calling for the right to return of Georgians to Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The Armenian vote was heralded a "historic moment" by Georgian media.
