This issue of the Caucasus Analytical Digest examines the implications of the Ukrainian crisis for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and also describes the nature of Russias relationships with each of these three South Caucasian states. Giving its traditionally friendly relations with Ukraine, Tbilisi and many Georgians see the struggle for Ukrainian sovereignty as an analogue of their own fate. While Azerbaijans elite and population support Kiev in its demand for territorial integrity, Baku also seeks to maintain good relations with Russia and the West, not least in order to gain their support in resolving the issue of Nagorno Karabakh in favor of Azerbaijan. The Ukrainian crisis has implications for Armenia as well, which are namely related to resolving Nagorno Karabakh, concerns about the ethnic Armenian population residing in Ukraine, as well as worries about negative effects of Western sanctions against Russia for Armenias economy.
