Summary/Abstract: Georgian-Azerbaijani people relations go back to a long history. Relations betweem two nations developed in different areas during this period of time. These fields that Georgian and Azerbaijanian people were interacting in are predominantly tillage, grape growing, wine production and agricultural products, kitchen, livestock breeding etc. These concrete relations between the two nations, which have been going on for centuries, have created an interaction in the languages of the mentioned two nations. The interaction occurred mostly on the lexicological plane. The classification of Georgian borrowings in Azerbaijani tells us that these words mostly belong to next fields as tillage, grape growing, wine production and agricultural products, etc., while Azerbaijani lexicological units in Georgian belong mostly to fields such as country economy, animal husbandry, fishery and culinary affairs. The findings of the study reveal the semantic units that these lexicological units were installed or abandoned in their etymological history besides present possibility for determining which business lines are characteristic and prioritized for Georgians and Azerbaijanis through history of their relationship.
