The hosting of the European Political Community summit in Yerevan signals European leaders' confidence in Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, according to former Georgian Ambassador Valeri Chechelashvili. While Chechelashvili believes Armenia cannot entirely supplant Georgia regionally due to geographical and geopolitical realities, he notes Armenia's understanding that its European integration path is faster in conjunction with Georgia. He also commented on the significant meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, suggesting it required the approval of Bidzina Ivanishvili, honorary chairman of the Georgian Dream party. Chechelashvili posits that Ivanishvili's decision reflects an understanding of Russia's declining influence and a strategic adjustment of Georgia's foreign policy.
