- European leaders gathered in Armenia for two major EU summits.
- Armenia hosted talks where security, trade and the Ukraine war dominated the agenda.
- EU ties are deepened as the meetings signal Armenia’s growing alignment with the bloc.
- Russia’s historic alignment with Armenia is questioned as the country pivots toward the EU.
Why it matters: Armenia’s hosting of the summits deepens its political and economic ties with the EU, positioning it to benefit from EU cooperation on security and trade, while Russia’s historic influence over the country is called into question, potentially reducing its leverage.
