/PanARMENIAN.Net/ By living standards Armenia ranks 83 among 170
U.N. member states, head of the OSCE Yerevan Office, Ambassador
Vladimir Pryakhin stated at the international scientific conference
titled “Caucasus without conflicts and terror. Dialogue of
civilizations on the Caucasian crossroad” held in Yerevan today. The
index is rather low, however it’s higher than that of Georgia (100)
and Azerbaijan (101), he noted. According to the diplomat the low
index is conditioned by the transit period, economic problems and
unsettled conflicts. “Three out of five frozen conflicts in the post
soviet space are in the South Caucasus,” Mr. Pryakhin underscored.
