EU Presence

EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus, Toivo Klaar, on Thursday (21 October)met in Yerevan with Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan. During the meeting Klaar assured the Armenian leader that the EU was ready to support the process of establishing an atmosphere of trust and dialogue in the region, which will contribute to peace and stability.

As Charles Michel attempts to bring the EU back into the South Caucasus region, there is a lot that Armenia has to gain. However, economic support from the EU alone will not be enough for Armenia to manage the Russian-Azerbaijani tandem, and Pashinyan's new government requires real leadership in its relations with Turkey, says Alex Petrosyan in this op-ed for KarabakhSpace.eu.
