Medvedev contestă apropierea Armeniei de UE: „Cel mai rău lucru care i s-ar putea întâmpla este transformarea ei într-o nouă Ucraină”

Dmitri Medvedev warned Armenia against closer ties with NATO and the EU, suggesting it could lead to dire consequences similar to Ukraine's situation. He emphasized Russia's traditional influence in the South Caucasus and criticized Western efforts to secure energy corridors bypassing Russia. Medvedev recalled the 2008 Russo-Georgian war, linking it to NATO's promises to Georgia and Ukraine. Armenia, under Nikol Pashinyan, has distanced itself from Russia, accusing it of failing to support against Azerbaijan. Medvedev indicated that continued Armenian integration with the West could provoke economic and military responses from Russia.
