BRUSSEL, Kazakhstan – EU: Ten Years of a Strategic Partnership Ready to Shift Into Higher Gear

The debate organized at the Press Club Brussels revealed a Kazakhstan fully assured in its multi-vector foreign policy: engaging with Russia, China, the European Union and the United States without entering into bloc logic, but defending a strategic pragmatism that has become its trademark. Ambassador Roman Vassilenko called for a faster, more concrete and more ambitious EU–Kazakhstan partnership, emphasising two priorities: connectivity — with the central role of the Middle Corridor — and cooperation on critical raw materials essential for Europe’s industrial transition. Journalists present, including Colin Stevens (EU Reporter), raised key questions about energy, green hydrogen, civil nuclear development and Kazakhstan’s wider role in Europe’s green transition. Their direct, sometimes sharp questions shed light on Astana’s strategic objectives.

Azerbaijan's Victory Day: An Analysis of Geopolitical Transformation

This article analyzes the new geopolitical balance of power that emerged in the South Caucasus following Azerbaijan's November 8th Victory and its implications for the regional security architecture. Employing the Regional Security Complex (RSC) theoretical framework, the paper examines the core dynamics that led to the end of the thirty-year status quo. Our main thesis posits that the post-victory era has eroded traditional Russian hegemony, increased Turkey's strategic influence, and enhanced the agency of regional actors (Azerbaijan). The analysis focuses on peace negotiations, the geopolitics of transportation corridors like the Zangezur Corridor, and the increased intervention of external actors (Iran, EU, US). The article argues that while these changes offer potential for normalization, they also introduce a risk of a new instability cycle driven by corridor disputes and border conflicts, concluding with policy implications for regional stability.
