Marat Terterov explores Armenia’s Energy Reality for CivilNet Yerevan

In a further interview for Armenia’s media outlet, CivilNet, BREC’s Marat Terterov

highlights the gap between Brussels-based perceptions of Armenia and the country’s actual energy and geopolitical realities. He argues that European thinking is often detached from the realities taking place on the ground.

According to the Brussels Energy Club Director, the EU tends to act as a passive facilitator rather than a decisive investor in Armenia, effectively “missing the bus” compared to more assertive actors such as the U.S., Russia, and China. He also stresses that key decisions in the energy sector, particularly around nuclear, are inherently political and tied to competition between major powers, not purely economic calculations. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for more pragmatic, reality-based European approach and deeper regional energy integration.
