Some thoughts about Armenia's recent EU bid

[Asbed Kotchikian @asbedk]

My thoughts at Ted Talk. It's about non-transactional transformation, where change is not driven by reward or punishment rather by a profound desire for self-realization.

Armenia Elections: Democracy and security on the ballot https://t.co/iLQ1ZLNERS via @AJEnglish

Continuing to argue that democracy and security are incompatible and are mutually exclusive may lead Armenia to lose on both fronts.

@CaucasusEdition @nigargoksel @EldarMamedov4 Stimulating discussion, albeit barely scratching the surface of new geopolitical challenges in the South Caucasus.

[Asbed Kotchikian @asbedk]

[Kevork Oskanian @DrKevorkO]

Thanks, @asbedk for the invite - and thanks to the @AUAtweets students for bearing me rambling on about Russian ‘hybrid-exceptionalist’ empire for 1 hour+.

Looking forward to having an interesting discussion!!
