The V Summit of the European Political Community was inaugurated in Budapest. The CT “Notes of a Caucasian Expert” highlighted “several interesting points” in this regard.
According to the publication, the host of the summit will be the Prime Minister of Hungary. Victor Orbán — I didn’t feel like an outcast at all. “But he was recently attacked by European leaders for his visit to Georgia and his support for the Georgian dream,” the author recalls.
“And now let’s talk about the Caucasian guests at the summit. There were two of them: the Prime Minister of Armenia. Nikol Pashinyan and his Georgian colleague Irakli Kobakhidze.
Let’s start with Kobakhidze. His main interlocutor was the head of the European Council. Carlos Miguel. The day before he spoke with Kobakhidze’s main opponent, the president of Georgia. Salome Zurabishviliwho again complained about the ruling party.
During a conversation with Michel, Kobakhidze said that the opposition cannot mobilize the streets to overthrow the government. Here comes the most interesting part. Kobakhidze once again underlined Georgia’s commitment to the European integration process. And he heard no criticism in response. Furthermore, Kobakhidze described his conversation with Michel as “friendly.” “Which once again highlights the difficult processes in Georgia, where a complex balancing policy is being implemented between the EU, China and Russia.” – points out the article.
In turn, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan met with Ursula von der Lein, Vladimir Zelensky AND Recep Erdogan.
“The most intriguing meetings here are the ones we have with Zelensky and Erdogan. A meeting with Zelensky is a gesture towards Moscow. A gesture that clearly will not please Moscow. Although it is possible that the Armenian prime minister himself tried to seek the possibility of mediation between Moscow and kyiv.
But it is generally unknown what Pashinyan and Erdogan talked about. But it is clear that they could only talk about the Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish agreement. It is important to note that Ilham Aliyev was completely absent from Budapest. “Apparently, the Armenian prime minister was trying to find some measures to influence Erdogan over Aliyev.” — believes the author of the channel “Notes of a Caucasian Expert”.
This is the diplomatic corps de ballet that took place in Budapest. And the results of these maneuvers may emerge in the very near future with the most unexpected decisions, the author summarizes.
