Even last year, in one of my articles published by "Nubarashen" CSC, I mentioned that without Georgia's possible membership in the EU, Armenia does not even have a strictly theoretical prospect of EU non-membership, because without a possible common land or water border, the EU will never, even at the level of strategic planning, I repeat, he will never consider that issue.
After that article, Nikol, Ararat and the rest of the geopolitical gurus started to use a similar thesis in their relations with Georgia. However, the latest developments in Tbilisi can also theoretically put a cross on the speculations of the European fairy tale in the political life of Armenia in the foreseeable future, because Turkey will never be a member of the EU either. and through him, we will never have a common land border with the EU. Against this background, what Nicol hinted at in his last interview becomes even bigger. European referendum, and my irony in response to it, about the more realistic possibility of joining the Andromeda constellation, becomes more real. Another serious problem is Armenia's institutional regression, the lack of real reforms, the under-implementation of the CEPA agreement.
In a word, Europiaar does not replace Eurostandards. Various professional and sectoral reports and evaluations testify to this.
In Brussels, they are also well aware, but still do not admit publicly, that the Eastern Partnership, launched in 2009, as a unified instrument, has collapsed. And now the once "trio (Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova) + 1 (Armenia) + 2 (Belarus, Azerbaijan) )" scheme, in the best case, the process moves exclusively to the level of bilateral relations.
The same vague perspective awaits the "European Political Community" initiative, authored by Macron, and it is no coincidence that no final document was adopted at its last summit held in Budapest. Regardless of this objective situation, both Yerevan and Brussels will continue to "spell" lies. About the European vector of Armenia. The EU will do this to achieve the goal of separating Armenia from Russia and handing it over to Turkey. As for Nikol, "I will enter Europe" as one of the main 4 theses to be played in the upcoming elections: "I will punish the former", "I will bring peace", "I will find the guilty". The number one anti-Russian in the South Caucasus. It is unnecessary to describe what new dangers can be created if Pashinyan gives in to that temptation with his European adventure.
