Armenia is ranked 112th among 163 countries in the 2017 Global Peace Index released by the Institute for Economics and Peace today.

Armenia has went two lines down as compared with last year (110), and is ranked the seventh in Russia and Eurasia rankings.

The report mentions the fighting in April last year. 

“The fighting resulted in the deaths of up to 200 people, reflected in both countries’ scores for number of deaths from external conflict. Similarly, military expenditure as a percentage of GDP has increased in both countries. While most countries in the region improved their scores in all three domains, this did not indicate significant progress in the resolution of ongoing conflicts,” the report says.

Armenia’s neighbors in the region are ranked as follows: Georgia – 94th, Azerbaijan 132nd, Turkey -146th, Iran – 129th.

Iceland preserved its status as the most peaceful country, while Syria is the last in the list.
