Are the US and EU trying to oust Russia from the South Caucasus?

Paul Stronski, a senior fellow in Carnegie's Russia and Eurasia Program, spoke to CivilNet about the EU’s decision last month to deploy a two-year monitoring mission to the Armenian side of the border with Azerbaijan. Stronski also discussed the perception that the United States and European Union may be trying to oust Russia from the South Caucasus. He also touched on pushback within the EU against the mission to Armenia, and whether the U.S. and EU are working to deescalate the situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan and why.
