New EU civilian mission in Armenia expected to sail into
uncharted waters of geopolitical maelstrom
brevity may be the soul of wit, but it is not
readily applicable in relation to everything that one may need to
dwell upon, particularly when what one should contemplate is deeply
vague, with a dearth of factual gist providing the scope for
uninhibited assumptions to cloud one's mind. In some ways, this is
the case regarding the EU's new civilian mission to be deployed in
Armenia, set forlornly amidst the latter's ongoing troubles with
Azerbaijan and Russia's gradually, but not swiftly, fading
influence in the South Caucasus.
