## Resource

Armenia’s parliamentary elections mark a seismic shift in its foreign policy, as Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan boldly pivots toward the EU and U.S., risking deepening tensions with Russia. Once seen as a key security ally, Moscow now faces backlash after Azerbaijan’s Karabakh takeover left Armenia feeling abandoned — prompting Pashinyan to join the ICC, suspend a Russian security pact, and court Western investment in energy and tech. Yet Russia retaliates with economic sanctions, threats to suspend Armenia’s economic union membership, and cyber warfare, forcing Armenia into a high-stakes balancing act. The outcome isn’t just about winning votes — it’s about choosing a future: one anchored in history or forged in a new global partnership.
