| Summary |
Armenia's 2018 Velvet Revolution did not change the country's foreign and security policy priorities: a close security alliance with Russia has been used to balance its regional adversaries Turkey and Azerbaijan; however, the revolutionary prime minister Nikol Pashinyan has also attempted to increase Armenia's autonomy vis-à-vis Russia. Pashinyan's attempts to address the former presidents' abuses of power and curtail Russian influence in Armenia, coupled with moves that could have been interpreted as anti-Russian, have created tensions with Moscow. The need to sustain the strategic alliance in circumstances in which the Kremlin has been deeply mistrustful of Armenia's new leadership has forced Pashinyan's government to appease Russia. Armenia's defeat in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, resulting in a larger regional role for Turkey, has exacerbated Armenia's security dilemma and increased its dependence on Russia |
