Armenia's geopolitical position has undergone significant changes in recent years, particularly regarding its relationship with Russia. Assessments from Ukrainian intelligence indicate that Armenia is beginning to exit the sphere of Russian influence. This process is driven by several factors, including Azerbaijan's military actions against Armenian sovereign territory and the ineffectiveness of Russian security mechanisms.
The transformation of Armenia's foreign policy suggests that the country must find new security and economic partners that are not solely reliant on one nation. Cooperation with Europe and the United States, along with the normalization of relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, creates new opportunities for Armenia.
These changes may also affect Armenia's economic geography by opening new communications with Europe, Turkey, the Caspian region, Central Asia, and Iran. However, Armenia's state institutions need to develop to ensure that the country can withstand external pressures and maintain its sovereignty.
