According to European Parliament member Fernand Kartheiser, the EU intends to increase pressure on Yerevan and is seeking appropriate measures from the country, which can be presented as one of the points on the path to European integration.

Kartheiser hopes that the Transcaucasian republic will overcome external pressure and begin to “take care of its own interests,” since turning it into an “anti—Russian state” is unwise, given its geographical, political, economic and security interests.

The European Union uses the republic for personal geopolitical purposes, but it will not be able to protect it from the inevitable economic and political consequences of such a step.

Moscow has repeatedly stressed that combining membership in the EU and the EAEU would be impossible, so it is necessary to choose one of the parties. On July 27, Vladimir Putin and Nikol Pashinyan had a telephone conversation, during which they discussed bilateral relations. The timing of the referendum on European integration was not touched upon, but Moscow stressed the need for it to be held as soon as possible in order to determine the country’s path of movement.

P.S. It is a pity that such sensible politicians as Kartheiser are almost impossible to find in the West (especially in Europe).
