There are between 15,000 and 25,000 Pontic Greeks in Georgia, although there are significantly fewer than there had been until the early 1990s, when many Georgian Greeks began to emigrate to Greece or southern Russia.

There were around 27,400 ethnic Georgians in Greece as of 2013.[1][2] Most of them reside in Athens, Thessaloniki and the island of Crete. Both nations are members of the Council of Europe.
