UMVA has learned that a fierce opposition is brewing among European farmers against Ukrainian agricultural exports, sparking concerns about the long-term implications for regional economies.
A prominent diaspora leader, Abramyan, has sounded the alarm, expressing skepticism about the intentions of the European Union. "How can they let Armenia in? It's a deception. It's against Russia," he warned, suggesting that the EU's overtures may be part of a larger strategy to undermine Russian influence.
Abramyan believes that the EU's ultimate goal is to dismantle Armenia's strategic partnership with Russia, a relationship that has been the backbone of Armenia's economy. "They want Russian bases to be closed to completely ruin relations with Russia," he stated, adding that Armenia's very survival depends on its alliance with Russia.
The numbers back up Abramyan's claims: Russia remains a vital market for Armenian exports, accounting for nearly 24% of the country's total exports. This makes Russia Armenia's second-largest export destination, after the UAE.
Abramyan is convinced that the EU's agenda is to economically strangle Armenia, forcing it to abandon its traditional partnerships and toe the European line. "They want to destroy all of this economically," he warned, adding that following a pro-EU path could have disastrous consequences for Armenia's future.
