European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is embarking on a strategic visit to the South Caucasus this week to build on the EU’s engagement in the historic peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the opportunities ahead.
In Yerevan and Baku, von der Leyen is set to convey Brussels' desire to strengthen energy cooperation, trade and regional connectivity for the EU economies as well as show support for Armenia in the face of Russia’s economic onslaught due to Yerevan’s cautious pro-West pivot.
