Россия опоздала. Главный козырь в армяно-российских отношениях Москва потеряла. Арег Кочинян

Noyan Tapan in Russian. Guest: Areg Kochenyan, political scientist and head of the Armenian Council think tank. 04.06.2026 In the Noyan Tapan studio, our guest is Oreg Kochenyan, political scientist and head of the Armenian Council think tank. The interview discusses in detail Russia's direct interference in Armenia's election process, which manifests itself through unfounded trade barriers, aggressive political statements, and attempts to mobilize the Armenian diaspora. The political scientist explains the failure of local pro-Russian proxies and analyzes how economic blackmail is backfiring—consolidating Armenian society and accelerating integration with the European Union. Options for overcoming the crisis are discussed: using preferential EU trade mechanisms, alternative logistics routes through Georgia, and revising Gazprom's exclusive rights in the Armenian gas market. The episode also examines in detail the American TRIP transit project, the synchronization of Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish diplomatic processes, and how certain political forces within the country exploit public fears and historical trauma for their own political gains.
