ARMENIA AND NATO: A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH SECURITY IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ENTIRE SOUTH CAUCASUS AND BEYOND

Experts and politicians met in Poland to discuss Armenia’s changing political stance, particularly in light of growing regional instability and its pivot to the West. NATO’s strategic role in the South Caucasus, prospects for deepening cooperation with Armenia, and shared challenges in countering Russian influence were discussed. Special attention was paid to the dynamics of Turkish-Armenian relations and their implications for regional security. The forum aimed to foster an informed dialogue to connect NATO and Armenia through diplomacy, resilience, and strategic alignment.
