The latest episode of Baku TV’s "Current Agenda" program focused on the 8th Summit of the European Political Community held in Armenia. Members of parliament Sahib Aliyev, Vugar Iskenderov, and political scientist Yegana Hajiyeva analyzed what this meeting means for the region.

The Yerevan summit is seen as an attempt by the European Union to increase its influence in the South Caucasus. But the question remains: will it truly bring peace, or become a new source of tension?

Armenia’s security architecture is tilting toward the West. While the EU mission in the country is presented as a guarantee of peace, some experts call it a new threat model. Against the backdrop of relations with Russia, this shift could alter the geopolitical balance.

The discussion highlighted that Western support for upcoming elections in Armenia will directly impact its domestic politics. This will create new realities both within the country and across the region.
