Cutting-edge analysis of and opinions on political and socio-economic currents in Eastern Partnership countries 🇦🇲🇦🇿🇧🇾🇬🇪🇲🇩🇺🇦. Admin: @GGigitashvili_

Gazprom PJSC will export natural gas to #Armenia via Azerbaijan for the first time in almost three decades as the former Soviet neighbors work to reopen communication links following last year’s war. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


#Belarus - Russia’s association with Lukashenko’s crackdown may persuade Belarusians that it is impossible to be a pro-Russian democrat: that one can only be one or the other. carnegie.ru/commentary/834…


#Moldova - Beyond the international sympathy and support addressed toward Sandu, there is a lot to do so as to bring Moldova back to the rule of law , recover trust of its strategic partners, and to come up with a pandemic recovery plan. prismua.org/en/pdf/moldova…


#Georgia - Contradictory arrangements like the freedom of religion and equality, on the one hand, and the privileged status of the Orthodox Church, on the other, may further marginalise religious minorities and stoke tensions in Georgian society. en.zois-berlin.de/publications/z…


#Ukraine - Tehran said it will pay $150,000 to the family of each victim, but Ukraine said it expects more, including a thorough investigation. nytimes.com/2020/12/30/wor…


#Armenia - Facebook banned Holocaust denial from its platform in October. Anti-hate groups now want the social media giant to block posts denying the Armenian genocide. businessinsider.com/facebook-twitt…


#Belarus - regime brutality is fueling a national awakening and helping to create a new Belarus. By seeking to subjugate his own population, Lukashenka is unwittingly pushing the Belarusian people away from the Soviet past and towards a European future. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…


#Ukraine - The United States needs to be frank with Ukraine and make clear that there are real consequences if Ukraine doesn’t commit to finally combating oligarchs and systemic corruption. nationalinterest.org/feature/what-u…


#Belarus - there are at least three scenarios in which the EU and Russia won’t be able to keep their differences over Belarus from escalating from the current moderate competition into an open geopolitical crisis like that seen in Ukraine. carnegie.ru/commentary/833…


The #Moldovan political playground possesses one key characteristic. It cannot handle a vacuum when it comes to actors capable of protecting a corrupt system that acts according to Russia’s interests. neweasterneurope.eu/2020/12/01/cha…
