According UN research studies conducted on human development index,
Armenia is number 83 among 177 countries. According to the same
indicator, Azerbaijan and Georgia are in 101st and 100th places
respectively. Vladimir Priakhin, OSCE Yerevan Office Head, publicized
the information today during an international conference on Caucasus
without Terrorism and Conflicts.

In his words, at this moment Southern Caucasus is not a comfortable
place for people to live. “The low indicators are conditioned by
a number of reasons connected first of all with economic crisis,
transition period challenges as well as regional conflicts,” Priakhin
noted. In his words, 3 out of 5 biggest so-called “frozen” conflicts
in post-soviet area are on the territory of Southern Caucasus.
