Open Messages from the Moscow Meeting: Why Armenia Faces Energy and Economic Dangers

The video discusses the Pashinyan-Putin meeting in Moscow. It is noted that the Russian side presented its position in open and public texts this time, so that Armenian citizens and businesses could directly see the potential consequences of the government's decisions.

The main danger is energy-related: if the current policy continues, the price of gas at the border could rise from $177 to $600, which would lead to price hikes and the uncompetitiveness of all local production. There is also a warning that without a new nuclear power plant, Armenia will face a serious electricity deficit after 2031 and will be forced to buy it from neighbors, such as Turkey.

Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding the concession management of the railway is discussed, along with the potential involvement of Kazakhstan and the fact that Armenia has already lost about $6 billion in trade turnover due to the political tension of the past year alone. The conclusion is that attempts to "sit on two chairs" between the EAEU and the West could lead to a serious economic crisis, and citizens must choose whether or not they are ready to pay that high price.
