At the crossroads of regional dynamics in the South Caucasus and global geopolitical tensions, Armenia faces a necessary strategic repositioning.
Recent developments have reshuffled the deck: last August, Donald Trump's diplomatic initiative around the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP) marked the return of the United States to a field that was thought to have been abandoned in favour of Russia, Iran and Turkey. This American position, which is both opportunistic and disruptive, has opened up prospects for potential reconfigurations of alliances and opportunities for cooperation, but it also poses new security challenges. Between pressure, uncertainty and aspirations for stability, what choices are available to Yerevan today to guarantee its sovereignty and security?
