I had a conversation with Dr. Arthur Khachikyan from Stanford University about Armenia\u2019s position in a multipolar world order. The efforts by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to pivot to the West have undermined its ties with its two most important allies in the region (Russia and Iran) and strengthened its two most important adversaries (Azerbaijan and Turkey). In a multipolar system, states diversify their ties with other great powers to avoid excessive reliance on any one power, which risks making them an instrument of great power politics. Armenia has made itself a battleground for great power rivals, and its national interests are best served by modelling itself after Georgia rather than Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/geopoliticsamongstates.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/why-is-armenia-so-close-to-russia-and-iran.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geopoliticsamongstates.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/why-is-armenia-so-close-to-russia-and-iran.webp 800w, https:\/\/geopoliticsamongstates.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/why-is-armenia-so-close-to-russia-and-iran-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/geopoliticsamongstates.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/why-is-armenia-so-close-to-russia-and-iran-768x513.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Toward a multipolar world.
