Sorry but I don't think that the point here is geographic proximity or
historic connections between scripts. We were rather talking about a
*typographic* similarity.
Printed Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian (and, to a minor degree, Hebrew)
are similar because their typography developed at the same age and in the
same environment.
Georgian or Glagolitic are extraneous to this typographical tradition, and
ancient scripts are of course extraneous to typography herself.
