Not culturally European at all. And despite being neighbors, each country has different cultural influences.

I’m from Europe and been living in Armenia for a while. Without analyzing it thoroughly it would say that Armenia “feels” like a European country despite its geographical position. From the look and feel of it, it kinda resembles Greece or Bulgaria.
Same applies to Georgia. Haven’t been to Az, so I can’t say.

European is a spectrum

The UN views Armenia as an Eastern European nation:
Armenia can legally be part of the EU if it chooses to; non-European countries cannot be part of the EU.
Geography and borders are arbitrary, as seen in the cases of Iceland, Denmark, Russia, Spain, France, and many other European countries.
Culturally, what defines a culture as European or Asian?
Make of it what you will, but Armenia is European politically; culturally and geographically, it is both.

Pretty much yes, but certain people here will throw a fit if you float the idea that Armenia has a close historical connection with the Turks, Persians, and Arabs
