Europe cannot offer Armenia security, but it can offer money | News in Depth
At a landmark European summit in Yerevan, European leaders signal a strategic outreach to the Caucasus, raising the question of what Europe can realistically offer Armenia as it repositions itself away from Moscow while facing urgent security and political challenges.
“Europe is hoping that… soft levers will be enough to pull it away from Russia,” says Stuart Dowell, TVP World’s Political Editor, pointing to EU tools like investment, election monitoring, and diplomatic engagement rather than hard security guarantees.
Can EU investment, election support, and diplomacy truly anchor Armenia’s westward pivot after losing the war with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh? What does Hungary’s maintenance of its tough stance toward Ukraine under Péter Magyar mean for Kyiv and EU unity? And finally, how does the U.S.–Germany spat over Iran, troops, and tariffs reshape Europe’s security outlook?
Join our host, Marie Kato, and her guest as they explore Armenia’s strategic shift, internal EU political strains, and transatlantic tensions shaping Europe’s future role.
