Armenia's turn to the West: Can it balance the EU and Russia? | Eastern Express

Armenia is edging closer to Europe, with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan pushing for deeper ties with the European Union as Yerevan seeks to reduce its long-standing economic and security dependence on Russia. Brussels is backing greater access to the European market and closer cooperation, while Armenia looks to strengthen new regional connections. But Russia remains a major partner when it comes to the economy and energy, leaving Armenia facing a difficult balancing act as Moscow signals that deeper European integration could come with consequences.

Eastern Express host Benjamin Lee is joined by George Mchedlishvili, Associate Professor at the European University in Tbilisi, to discuss Armenia’s European ambitions, Russia’s leverage, and the lessons Armenia can draw from Georgia’s experience.
