Greece Enhances Role as Energy Hub Amid Armenia's Shift in Foreign Policy and Upcoming Elections
Greece is positioning itself as a central energy hub in Europe, focusing on U.S. LNG imports and the Vertical Energy Corridor project, which aims to replace Russian gas supplies. Simultaneously, Armenia prepares for parliamentary elections on June 7, navigating geopolitical tensions and redefining its foreign relations with the EU and U.S. amid challenges from Russia. The elections are critical for Prime Minister Pashinyan's government, which seeks to stabilize Armenia's democracy while addressing hybrid threats and opposition from pro-Russian factions.

Greece is strengthening its position as an energy hub for Europe, especially in LNG imports, through the Vertical Energy Corridor project aimed at distributing U.S. LNG to Southeastern and Eastern Europe.
This shift comes as Armenia approaches parliamentary elections on June 7, where Prime Minister Pashinyan faces challenges from opposition blocs with ties to Russia. The elections are critical for Armenia's foreign policy realignment towards the EU and U.S. amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and Russia's influence. The U.S. was Greece's main LNG supplier in 2025, with imports significantly increasing, enhancing Greece's strategic role in regional energy security and reshaping supply routes in the wake of the Ukraine conflict.
