This online discussion explores Armenia’s forthcoming elections and their broader political and geopolitical implications. As Armenia approaches a pivotal electoral moment, the country faces a complex intersection of domestic political competition, post-conflict recalibration, and shifting geopolitical alignments. The upcoming elections are not only a test of political leadership, but also a reflection of deeper societal debates over security, peace, identity, and Armenia’s strategic direction between Russia, the European Union, and the wider international community. This discussion will provide an expert-based assessment of the electoral landscape, the main political actors, voter dynamics, and the potential scenarios that could shape Armenia’s future trajectory.

Participants: Stepan Grigoryan – Chairman of the Board, Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional Cooperation (ACGRC)
