Genetic distance by inferred ancestral population
Lithuanian reference population is the closest to Georgia based on K6 made by Razib Khan.
As we know Georgians have one of the most CHG/Caucasus like admixture, i would consider the possibility the Caucasus and North European like components share a common ancestral origin which would correlates with linguistic and culture if we consider Georgian is one of the oldest unique Ind-European language and i would go as far to say the majority of West Eurasians excluding the Semitic speakers share a common North Caucasian-Southern Steppe origin.
I'd also add Georgians have significant Iran Neolithic admixture component which might be the ancestor of all Indo-Aryan/Hindu Kush civillizations from Kurdistan to North India.
