Australia's Institute for Economics and Peace jointly with the
British "The Economist" magazine published the rating list of the
world peace coefficient.
To define peaceful countries, the experts use a number of factors,
such as the number of armed forces, the national military budget,
conflicts with neighbors, the number of deaths from internal conflicts,
the number of police officers compared to the population, citizens'
educational qualification and the attitude towards human rights.
The most peaceful country of the world in this year's ranking is
Iceland, pushing New Zealand into second place, the third one is
Japan. Denmark is in fourth place, and the Czech Republic is ranked
fifth-most peaceful in the world. Democratic Republic of Congo,
Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq and North Korea are in the last
places.
Russia is in the 147th place. The most peaceful country in our region
is Armenia. We are in the 109th place in the rating list. Georgia
ranks the 134th place, and Azerbaijan - in 122th place. Iran is in the
119th place, Turkey - in 127th place. In this list that is published
since 2007, 149 countries are included.
