What should be understood from Aliyev’s statement when he publicly states that “the Azerbaijani people will never forget the actions of the occupation forces of Armenia against them and their cities?”

Is this the statement of the leader of a country that is going for peace or has established peace?

In other words, by forcing and “feeding” the RA government, they stopped all demands and expectations, and they are trying to formulate the artificially created myths as an agenda.

The local dictator moves with the urge to earn a few pennies, and Azerbaijanis turn their demands and aspirations into a constant threat at the expense of Armenian interests.

European Commissioner Martha Kos solemnly announces that the first symbolic batch of Armenian apricots has arrived in the EU. He also publishes a photo with the RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure, holding an apricot.

Is this the Armenia we want to present to the world?

When instead of infrastructure, industry, energy, high technologies, transport corridors and strategic projects, Armenia’s European “success story” is presented with a few apricots, it is not just about the export of agricultural products. It is about the symbolic positioning of the country.

States in the world are competing with artificial intelligence, microchips, atomic energy, logistics hubs and technological ecosystems. And we are suggested to be proud that the Armenian apricot has reached Europe.

Apricot is a wonderful food, an important symbol of Armenian culture. And the political calculation of this action is more than clear. But when apricot appears exclusively at the core of the state’s foreign economic relations, it is willingly or unwillingly positioned as an agrarian periphery, rather than as a country with industrial, technological and engineering potential.

The most telling thing here is the photo itself. This actually reflects the peripheral perception of Armenia by Europeans. It was possible to take the same photo of an Armenian farmer, but not of the Minister of Infrastructure.

In politics, symbols sometimes say more than official statements.
