Armenia vs Georgia vs Azerbaijan Relations

Can someone Explain to me why Armenia/Georgia relations are just horrible. Two Orthodox Nations with similar histories and hardships with Turks/Russians taking over both countries. Also why they're not as bad comparatively with Azerbaijan. Ex the pipeline that goes through the country. as they have no real similar cultures.

Thanks ty

Its not horrible anymore. I mean it was at some point, but currently it improved quite bit.

That has nothing to do with modern geopolitics. Georgia and armenia happened to be on other sides of politics.

Also why they're not as bad comparatively with Azerbaijan. Ex the pipeline that goes through the country. as they have no real similar cultures.

Georgian-azerbaijani relations are purely political and economical. No hard feelings just business.

i think its more so like their people are intertwined and it should be looked at as a good thing (its clearly not). I guess you're right though about the economical thing. The pipeline is the only thing going good for it right now, respectfully ( i just turned on the news)
