Politics:

Is integration into the Conference of Landlocked Developing Countries necessary for Armenia?

Armenia's membership in another international organization can hardly change relations in the Region.

October 25, 2008
There are presently 44 landlocked countries in the world, most of which are in Africa - 15, then comes Europe with 14 states, followed by Asia - 12 and South America - 2. Lack of territorial access to the sea means for these countries eclipsed opportunities to communicate with the world, develop and maintain trade-economic relations and grow as a whole. Armenia now faces all these difficulties, and it should be admitted that no opening of a border can bring about changes in geographical location of the country. There might be a slight progress in political sphere but still from the purely geographical point of view Armenia is doomed to be an enclosed piece of land.
