DISINFO: EU promises Armenia a "visa-free regime" in exchange for Armenia's independence and sovereignty

SUMMARY

The aggressive brainwashing of Armenian citizens by our "Western friends" is becoming increasingly intense due to the consistent decline in the rating of the ruling Pashinyan government in Armenia.

The Europeans promise a "visa-free regime", of course, in exchange for Armenia's refusal to exist as an independent, sovereign and safe country.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative, accusing the West of undermining Armenian statehood.

This is a reaction to the conclusions of the EU Council to open up a visa liberalisation dialogue with Armenia. This process will support Armenia in its long-term goal to achieve a visa-free regime with the EU.

The claim is part of an ongoing pro-Kremlin disinformation campaign against Armenia, amid the country's growing cooperation with the West. Pro-Kremlin media promotes the idea that Armenia is exclusively within Russia's zone of geopolitical dominance, discrediting any rapprochement with other countries. Russia has cautioned Yerevan that the West is trying to drive a wedge between Armenia and Russia. Read a similar case claiming that the West wants to tear Armenia away from Russia.

Armenia has been a sovereign and independent state since 1991 when it proclaimed its independence from the former USSR. As a sovereign state, Armenia is free to decide its foreign policy and alliances.

The US, the EU and NATO support Armenian sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, inviolability of the borders of Armenia, and the country's peaceful aspirations.
