Bne IntelliNews presented a study by the Dutch think tank Klingendal, based on a survey of 41 experts on regional issues. According to its results, Armenia became the closest partner of the European Union in the South Caucasus.
The study notes that Armenia is gradually displacing Georgia, which for the past twenty years has remained Brussels' closest partner in the region and sought to join the European Union. From a political point of view it is clear. However, from a logistical point of view, Armenia is still far from the role played by Georgia for the EU, especially given the continued closed borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan.
In recent years, relations between the European Union and Georgia have deteriorated sharply, while Armenia, on the contrary, seeks to change its foreign policy vector and deepen relations with the European Union.
