12:03 pm
what's happening in the earth on well, i think these are some of the largest protests that yerevan has seen in recent years. and you've got lots of people coming out. turning up to paula building and chance going out, calling for the prime minister, nicole pershing yann's resignation. but i think actually the number of people who have a solution, which is, you know, we need a different leader. we need a different government is actually very small. lots, lots of people, certainly the ones i spoke to. they didn't know what solution to this complex is. i mean, it has come under attack over the last few days, we've seen massive bombardments, huge evacuations of towns and cities along the border. and what people are really worried about is it repeats that the 2020 bull where armine was forced to basically give a whole lot of significant sway through its terrace, of territory was inside as a beyond did nationally recognize borders while ago know cut about is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan, territory, but 95 percent of the population is ethnic armenian conflicts. first bro county in
12:04 pm
1988 under soviet rule. i go know kind of back to kat independence and try to unite with armenia as a soviet union collapse. it escalated into outright war when the fighting ended in 1994 armenian forces, control the area, and other nearby districts. full scale war started again in 2020. after 6 weeks of fighting as a by john regained much of the territory. a russian peacekeeping force was deployed to enforce a cease fire about trying to steal breaks out periodically. once more they said speak to samuel de very vest her by who is the managing director at the european neighborhood council. and he's joining us from brussel. thank you very much for being with us, mr. vesta, by both armenia and as a by john blaming one another for this. renewed fighting. i want to ask you 1st why now, why are we seeing this escalation? and how to the current geopolitical tensions, the war in ukraine attentions,
12:05 pm
which in russia and the way, how does it all fit into this? i think the most important thing when answering this question is looking at a map. when you look at a map of the caucuses and you zoom out, you very quickly understand that it's an extremely g, a strategic region. and that it connects east and west, especially when one consider that there are sanction in russia at the moment. meaning that for example, energy or transportation of various types of goods can no longer pass. and similarly, when one looks south of as ever john armenia and the cookers in general, one finds iran, which is another country that's also facing sanctions. and as a result, to put it very simply, say geography dictates that the staff caucuses, meaning as john armenia are becoming a bottleneck. and so that is having an enormous impact in how different countries
12:06 pm
are viewing this and who they're supporting. and of course, also the incentives for both as over john armenia to act, illiterate, the towards one another. now, the russian lead security alliance that is on its way to yerevan at the request of armenia. what is going to be its role? we know that russia is traditionally supported armenia in its territorial dispute with answer by john. but how far can and will russia support armenia today in the current geopolitical context? i mean, the collective security treaty organization, our meeting at the request of armenia were on the speaking escalation situation between 2 countries. is, of course, both institutionally problematic and also many would say biased since as a john is not a member of the russian lead. collect the security treaty organization, which has in fact other members at armenia,
12:07 pm
russia has extend curio sentence. so what, what it also shows is really that russia is probably incapable of mediating this conflict between armenia and as a john, i think it's, it's 1st agreement, which is the turn that will agreement to that 20 as quite, obviously reach its limits. so in terms of the recent skirmishes which i've been seen on and off since 2021, i mean you very much shows that also trilateral agreement has reached its limits. and it also shows that brush at cleaning out a very credible guarantor or mediator in this conflict because it like the credibility because it's using such organizations. what about turkeys, role in all of this, we've heard the turkish foreign minister criticizing armenia for the slate. this escalation, what role is turkey paying in this conflict? well, turkey notoriously also has a difficult relationship with armenia, but turkey has over the last few years, tried to re engage with armenia and there been very positive diplomatic efforts.
12:08 pm
and between the 2 countries, then it also plays another role in the sense that turkey is an inevitable part of either energy or transport supply chain that come from or other but john and go to europe. and of course, this is extremely relevant these days because of your brain. and because of the gas markets, which are needed from the e. u at which have been associated with other bra, john, by the u. k. italy and many other countries over the past few months. and then finally, what's perhaps also important to mention is that turkey plays a role within the trilateral agreement. it has a monitor position, but a rather small one. and i think there is both space for more turkish involvement. and of course, also more involvement on this in order to make an agreement between the 2 countries . more credible. right. and so where does this leave negotiations over the status of nicole know kind of back and would you say that as a by john, today's in
12:09 pm
a stronger position because of its role as a source of natural gas. it has increase. it's important that he said to europe in the, in the wake of reduce rush and gas to the european continent. i think the correct way of putting it is indeed that it is in a stronger situation. also, because it will have more international backing today because of what's happening with russia and with ukraine. but at the same time, i think other but john is also in the extremely precarious situation. because we've seen before that russia is willing to use a lot of force on it's on its neighbors, and especially on it and ex soviet neighbors. we've seen it, of course, most tragically in ukraine. but we've also seen that russia has utilized the collect the secure, to treat organization and has extend when unrest had to be well, thank you so much for talking to the thank you for your insight, samuel de, very vesta by from the european neighborhood council joining us from brussels
