1lurer. In the context of Armenia-EU rapprochement, if Russia decides to halt gas supplies or use the price as a tool for political pressure, what support can the EU provide? In response to this question from a journalist, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the following.
«When it comes to energy resources, you need a strategic, multi-layered, and comprehensive approach. Just as we are helping Armenia diversify its trade, which increases resilience and strengthens Armenia, we also want to help Armenia diversify its energy supplies.
This is why next week a group of experts from the EU will arrive in Armenia. We have rich experience with such situations. We have gone through this in Ukraine and Moldova. We have accumulated experience, and we ourselves in the EU have faced elements of this situation. We have rich experience in how to diversify energy supply sources.
We are investing in regional energy security by opening new electricity interconnection routes and creating stronger regional energy networks. This includes 25 million euros in support for the Caucasus Transmission Project.
We are also supporting Armenia in the development of renewable energy production by utilizing the country's significant domestic resources. When you produce your own energy in Armenia, it increases independence and ensures energy security and resilience.
Through these various approaches, we are ready to support you in the situation we are all too familiar with».
