Armenia and Georgia differ from the countries of Central Asia in several ways. One major difference is that Armenia and Georgia were never part of the Soviet Union, while many countries in Central Asia were. Additionally, Armenia and Georgia were settled largely by Turkic peoples, while the countries of Central Asia have a mix of Turkic, Persian, and other ethnic groups. Armenia and Georgia have a history of being home to nomads, but this is not a characteristic of the countries in Central Asia. Finally, Armenia and Georgia are both mainly Christian, while Central Asian countries are predominantly Muslim.
