Armenia's Westward Shift
Since taking office for a new term in June 2026, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sought to steer his country toward a range of partnerships, including closer ties with Europe and greater openness to the United States, without severing its economic ties with Russia. The shift comes after Armenia’s defeat in the war with Azerbaijan and amid waning confidence in Moscow and Tehran’s ability to safeguard its interests. At the same time, opening up to its adversaries Azerbaijan and Turkey has become part of its new calculations. A westward turn could bring economic and political opportunities, but it also carries the risk of entanglement in great-power rivalry and the complications of expanding Turkish influence in the region.
