Abstract

The design of the EU policies to the Caucasus countries,
Annenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia came quite Iate.
The EU after the end of the Cold War tried to establish close
relationships with the New Independent States (NIS). The
Commission considered that the fonner Soviet Republics had the
necessary structures and means to establish a new kind of
relationship in line with the concept of Partnership and
Cooperation. Political refonns and transition to market economy
were goals to be achieved in order to establish a larger European
space covering different areas of the fonner Soviet Union.
The European Council in ı992 gaye to the Commission the
task of negotiating Partnership and Cooperation agreements with
Russia and NlS.
In the case of the Caucasus countries the approach and
negotiations, as we mentioned, started quite Iate, given the anned
conflicts that were developed at the beginning of the nineties. In
this situation the principal EU approach was not political but
humanitarian. SmaIl T ACIS programs, a loan program and
humanitarian aid were the principal EU engagements in the
Caucasus until 1995.
