Obtaining a visa-free regime with the EU is not a sprint but a marathon, requiring sustained efforts from Armenia. Even after achieving visa-free status, the process will require ongoing reforms and adjustments. Anna Barseghyan explains.
The 2024 European Parliament elections marked a significant shift in voter engagement and political dynamics, with possible implications for EU-Armenia relations. Amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, the results could influence EU policies on immigration, national sovereignty and international partnerships.
Despite efforts to strengthen intellectual property laws in Armenia, the country still faces challenges in effectively protecting and enforcing these rights.
While the EU is one of Armenia’s largest trading partners, exports from Armenia remain relatively low. This trade deficit can present an opportunity for Armenian exporters to expand their presence in the European market and increase their export volume.
The EU monitoring mission can provide a useful tool for accountability and transparency, but it is not a substitute for hard security. Armenia needs to address its own security concerns and focus on creating a stable and secure environment for its citizens.
After almost three decades of remaining on the sidelines of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict negotiation process, the EU has now stepped in, positioning itself as a mediator in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conciliation process.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shaken the European continent, and there is one non-conventional weapon—energy supply—that is playing a big role. What are the opportunities for Azerbaijan and the implications for Armenia and Artsakh?
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan met in Brussels on April 6, 2022, on the initiative of the European Council president. Why is the EU taking an interest now when it was a mere observer during the 2020 Artsakh War?
Azerbaijan openly announced that it would begin to destroy the Armenian cultural heritage of Artsakh and erase traces of the Armenian language from monuments. The European Parliament is one of the first institutions that has reacted to this Armenophobic policy.
Through a number of developing steps, the EU wants to open a space for a greater role in the South Caucasus and particularly in managing the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is now dominated by Russia and Turkey, writes Anna Barseghyan.
