Armenia's EU Tilt: A Tightrope Walk Between Moscow and the West

About this episode

The episode discusses Armenia's shift towards the EU amidst tensions with Russia following a conflict with Azerbaijan.

Armenias Shift Towards the EU: A Delicate Balance Between Moscow and the West Armenia is hosting a European summit this week, marking a significant shift in its foreign policy. After a brutal conflict with Azerbaijan in 2023, Armenias trust in Russia waned, leading to a desire for closer ties with the EU. The EU, in turn, is eager to strengthen its relationship with Armenia, with membership talks already underway. However, Russia is not backing down. Its offering cheap gas deals and imposing bans on Armenian imports, while also stepping up cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns ahead of June elections. The EU is responding with a two-year civilian mission to combat these hybrid threats. Despite these efforts, Armenias path towards the EU is not without challenges. There are no fast-track membership options, defense pacts, or gas replacements on the table. As a result, Armenia finds itself in a delicate balancing act between its historical ally, Russia, and its newfound partner, the EU.
