I participated in a debate on “Inside Politics with Anastasiya
Lavrina” to discuss Armania’s shift toward the West and its
deteriorating relations with Russia. I argue that it is in
Armenia’s to diversify its economic partnerships to avoid
excessive reliance on only Russia. However, Armania’s objective
to establish a balanced relationship between the West and Russia
is not shared by the West. The continent is redivided and a new
Cold War is being fought over where to draw the new dividing
lines. The main interest and objective of the West is to drive a
wedge between Armenia and Russia to weaken a strategic rival.
This could be disastrous for Armenia as Russia is its most
important economic partner, the Eurasian Economic Union serves
its national interests, and the regional geopolitical balance
would also shift to the advantage of Armenia’s adversaries.
