Armenia: Entry to the EU in sight? Dangerous tensions with Russia!

Eriwan, Armenien - Armenia has taken a historically significant step towards the west by introducing the government to a law project that marks the beginning of an EU accession process. Prime Minister Nikol Paschinjan emphasized that such accession can only be decided by a referendum, making the government intended, while at the same time addressing the opposition's concerns. The opposition politician Artur Chadhatrjan criticized the project as a harmful bluff, which endangers the country's foreign policy, such as reported.

The pressure from the Kremlin

In view of this tense situation and the increased pressure from Moscow, Armenia is looking for new strategic partnerships in the West. While Paschinjan is trying to strengthen relationships with European institutions, it becomes clear that the previous ties to Russia have become unstable. The situation is reminiscent of how important it is for Armenia to find a clear identity and political direction, while at the same time it faces the challenges of a new geopolitical reality.
