EVN Talks: Small State, Strategic Breakthrough - Armenia’s Security & Democratic Trajectory in a Fractured Region
EVN Report
Geballe Room, 220 Stephens Hall, Townsend Center for the Humanities
Armenia faces existential security dilemmas while striving to preserve its fragile democracy. How can a small state navigate authoritarian neighbors, shifting alliances, and geopolitical competition? The recent Washington Accords open possibilities for normalization with Azerbaijan, yet raise questions about Armenia’s trajectory. Meanwhile, the forced displacement of over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) underscores urgent human rights concerns that continue to reverberate. This discussion will examine what these developments mean for Armenia and the South Caucasus, and how they reflect broader global trends in security, sovereignty, and democratic resilience.
