What does 'Europe' mean again?

First, a diagram.


And now, statistics.

In a 2007 survey conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers:

Mr Saakashvili spent the week in Colombia for President Santos's inauguration, (worried, as he is, that Colombia may follow Venezuela and Nicaragua in recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia), but was kind enough to deliver a speech from Bogota on August 7th, during which he noted that "the battle for Georgia's deoccupation would continue to the end."
