Is the capital of assyria was at nineveh on the Tigris river?
Yes, Nineveh was the famous capital of ancient Assyria, located on the Tigris River.
Did the Assyrians get along with the Georgians?
The Assyrians (as in the Imperial Mesopotamian Power) never ventured up to the Caucasus Mountains and would thus have never interacted with the people there. Also, tribal Georgian culture did not really develop until the Roman Period, over 600 years after the fall of the Assyrian Empire. So, there is no possible interaction. If the Assyrian Empire had met up with the Georgians of the Middle Ages or Late Roman Period, they would have likely massacred them, enslaved them, and resettled them as they did every other culture they encountered (like the Arameans, Phoenicians, and Northern Israelites).
Modern Assyrians are a group of pre-Arab indigenous Christians who live in Northern Iraq and Eastern Syria. They are a moderate and friendly group of people who have been the target of numerous pogroms throughout their history. Given their religious similarity to the Georgians (Christianity) and their history of persecution to more powerful authorities that disdain that religion, Modern Assyrians and Modern Georgians get on rather well.
