Armenia's selective prosecution: A threat to EU relations?

Armenia faces accusations of selective prosecution against opposition figures, raising concerns about democratic backsliding. The arrest of opposition leader Artur Danielyan highlights a trend of targeting dissenting voices, particularly through social media. Civil society groups criticize these actions as politically motivated and detrimental to freedom of expression. Despite Armenia's efforts to strengthen ties with the EU, Brussels has remained largely silent on these issues, focusing instead on geopolitical interests in the region. Analysts suggest that the EU's pragmatic approach may overlook the implications of Armenia's internal political dynamics.
