EU Special Representative for South Caucasus Peter Semneby considers
that the three South Caucasian countries “move in different
directions.”

“Georgia has taken a special course towards the European Union and
the West.

Armenia differs with that it still feels the influence of restrictions
coming from the atmosphere of isolation. Azerbaijan carries out
rather balanced policy towards its neighbors and partners,” Peter
Semneby said.

“All three countries face the necessity of reinforcing their state
institution. Georgia and Armenia have special problems with their
“big neighbors,” the first with Russia, the latter with Turkey,” Peter
Semneby declared in his interview to the Moscow based “Nezavisimaya
Gazeta” newspaper.
