Europe learnt its lessons from the conflict in Georgia. The EU is determined to bring the eastern states closer. Ukraine,Belarus,Georgia,Moldova,Azerbaidjan and Armenia are to be brought closer to the European Union.Actual membership is still only a distant possibility,but those countries are to receive financial support for politcial and economic restructuring. European Journal profiles each of these countries.Last episode: Azerbaidjan - between Pipelines and Minaret. Azerbaidjan has significant oil and gas reserves,which make it important for the EU: The long Nabucco pipeline could supply Europe with gas via Turkey - thereby avoiding Russia. The wealth in resources however,does not actually reach Azerbaijanis. The Mountainous Karabakh conflict with neighboring Armenia weighs heavily on the country. We cross the line of ceasefire with Armenia and head into the capitol Baku.
