  • Reliable source of Armenian news

    Good source of Armenian news. I tune in to listen to Eric Hacopian and Georgi Derluguian. Very sound and logical analysis without empty nationalist chest-pounding. I am happy they added podcast episodes in Russian and English for those who don’t speak Armenian. Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What survives once the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal fails
Q: So what gives you this confidence, then, that anything's going to happen?
The discussion suggests that despite years of inaction, there are signs of possible middle-ground movements on economic corridors and rail connectivity, though serious political and veto constraints remain from Azerbaijan and from regional power dynamics, making any breakthroughs uncertain but not impossible.
How Russia is making Armenia’s EU pivot easier
Q: What is the role of Russia and CSTO in this shift, and how does domestic politics influence the push toward Europe?
Russia's pressure appears to be forcing decisions that align Armenia with EU prospects while reducing reliance on Russian-led blocs. Domestic politics, including prosecutions and the evolution of the constitution, are positioned as tools that could either strengthen statehood under a new constitutional framework or be exploited politically to rally a base.
How the war with Iran is rewriting the Middle East’s energy future
Q: What is happening with OPEC and non-OPEC players in this shifting energy order?
The landscape is fracturing the old OPEC-centric order, with US and other producers expanding influence, while OPEC+ negotiates its role amid a transition toward energy diversification and future investment priorities.
How the war with Iran is rewriting the Middle East’s energy future
Q: How does Armenia fit into the broader energy landscape amid regional tensions?
Armenia benefits from diversifying gas sources through Iran and from converting gas supplies into electricity, but needs significant technical and political investments to expand capacity and reliability.
How the war with Iran is rewriting the Middle East’s energy future
Q: What is the current state of Iran's gas industry and its potential to become a major global supplier if sanctions ease?
Iran has substantial oil and gas resources but lacks the investment climate due to sanctions; a political settlement with the international community is needed to attract the necessary investments to realize its potential as a major supplier.
