Are Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan considered European countries? They are technically in the Caucasus, but different maps are placing them in different continents; Europe or Asia. Do they believe Russia will ever allow them to join the EU?,

Is Georgia In Europe Or Asia?
Determining whether or not Georgia is a part of Europe or Asia is more difficult than it may seem. As the Caucasus Mountains are sometimes considered to be the easternmost border of Europe, the country of Georgia is technically located in Asia. However, culturally, many people in Georgia consider themselves part of Europe. The truth is that this Eurasian country could fit into either Europe or Asia, depending on which definition you use.

Armenia
Geographically, Armenia is in a confusing location. The South Caucasus region, in which Armenia lies, is between the two continents of Europe and Asia. The region is what most geographers would consider the unofficial border between the two continents. Naturally, as is the case with almost all border regions, it is difficult to classify where it belongs due to the mixture of elements and traditions from either side of the border. Regardless, going by the strict geographical demarcations of the world, the continent of Europe ends at Bosporus in Turkey and at the border to Georgia in the Caucasus Mountain range. Going by this, then Armenia is geographically on the continent of Asia.

Are Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in Asia or Europe?
Geographically speaking, the nations of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan lie between the Black Sea to the west and the Caspian Sea to the east. But is this part of the world in Europe or in Asia? The answer to that question depends on who you ask.
Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia Today
Politically, all three nations have tilted toward Europe since the 1990s. Georgia has been the most aggressive in opening relations with the European Union and NATO. By contrast, Azerbaijan has become an influence among politically nonaligned nations. Historical ethnic tensions between Armenia and Turkey have also driven the former into pursuing pro-European politics.
